It’s March and that means the first batch of blockbusters begins to hit. We have titles like South Park (already out and seemingly fantastic), Titanfall, Dark Souls II, inFAMOUS: Second Son, and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, all releasing this month and that already sounds like a great top five for the year.
With that in mind, we bring you the 2014 March Power Rankings.
10. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (8 points, new entry)
Nintendo lands the first game of the year that has both actually released and actually has a chance to stay on our list. RIP Thief and Lighting Returns.
9. Galactic Civilizations 3 (9 points, new entry)
FINALLY! A pure strategy game is on the list! The sequel to the best 4x space game ever made is about to hit beta and is on track for a summer release.
8. Alien: Isolation (10 points, new entry)
In space, no one can hear you scream. Unless of course you played Aliens: Colonial Marines. Isolation seems to be doing it right.
7. Diablo III: Reaper of Souls (13 points, +1 position change)
With its recent loot patch, Diablo III is finally the game so many wanted it to be when it launched and just in time for its first expansion too.
6. Halo 5 (16 points, no position change)
343 Industries has a lot of pressure on them to make the first true Xbox One Halo experience a great one. We think they’ve got it under control.
5. Dark Souls II (17 points, 1 first place vote, -2 position change)
The “death simulator” is upon us. Are you strapped in? What’s your safe word?
4. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (20 points, no position change)
I have lots of Xbox One rpgs to play. There’s, um, uh, oh… when does The Witcher 3 hit again?
3. South Park: The Stick of Truth (21 points, +2 position change)
This game is a love-letter to South Park fans. And it doesn’t suck, which is a bonus.
2. Destiny (39 points, -1 position change)
Titanfall has us all hot and bothered right now but Bungie’s Destiny might be heading back to the top slot in the coming months.
1. Titanfall (41 points, 4 first place votes, +1 position change)
The beta had my mouth watering. Then it went away, and I started to get all the classic symptoms of withdrawal: the shakes, incessant trailer watching, inane, over-wrought babble. Thankfully, my problems are all solved on March 11.
