Calling All Cars due out in March, like everything else...

by Nick Doerr { Jan 19th 2007 at 3:00PM }

Yeah, we've said that March is going to be a huge library-increasing month for the PS3 (thanks ~~in part~~ completely to the European PS3 launch) but it's also going to be a big month for downloadable PS-Store games, too. We've told you that flOw is coming out near the end of February (may as well be March), but now we've been told that Calling All Cars may be completed before the end of March. Along with the newly renamed Go! Puzzle (formerly Go! Swizzleblock 2), that's a triple threat of casual gaming awesome.

As David Jaffe has said about Calling All Cars, it's sort of a mix between Bomberman, Twisted Metal, Demolition Derby, and fun. There's a video of it if you're curious, but really, we'd rather play it. These smaller releases will definitely prove to be a nice distraction between all the huge releases in March. Personally, I'm itching to get a hold of Armored Core 4, MotorStorm, Lair, Heavenly Sword, flOw... oh hell, I'm itching to get a hold of everything!

Eh, I wouldn't count on either Lair or Heavenly Sword being released in March, especially with little or nothing new coming up from either title in the past few...months? The dates used by most retailers (such as EBGameStop) are simply placeholders, since an actual (or estimated) date isn't actually known.

Personally, the Playstation game for me (and many others) in March is God Of War 2.

Actually,

I think Heavenly Sword and Lair will be released in March in conjunction with the European PS3 launch...It just makes sense.

God of War 2 will be huge for the PS2 but many owners of the PS3 will probably pick it up as well. I just want it to be released already so Jaffe can start cranking out a God of War 3 for the PS3!

Hey! I was just reading my spankin' new EGM and it seems that Lair will be released arrrround March, but Heavenly Sword isn't mentioned until Fall. Sad, but whatever.

In other news, they did a poll about "What's wrong with the Playstation Network?" And over 50% of the voters said: "It's not XBox Live"... that's sort of ignorant, I thought. Stupid. I don't like cheese because it isn't ice cream. What? That's dumb. Both are dairy, sure, but... you get the idea.

March is also the Month that I jump to the NEXT GENERATION (and will hopefully stop using that word)! By buying a PS3 of course.

why does it seem like europe is getting the real ps3 launch.
oh wait, it is...

i believe the guys who are making heavenly sword said they will have it ready for launch. then they clarified and said it would be ready for europes launch. i certinaly hope so. HS and motorstorm are the top two games on my list to get.

Me too Marco, I'd brie crackers not to, as long as the March launch is stilton.

Frankly, I couldn't Caerphilly Red Leicester about the games at the moment, I just need my PS3.

I was curious if anyone knew about the features of God of War 2. I remember an interview about a year ago that God of War 2 will include visual features that are nex generation. Is that 720P for PS3 users? I am hoping that you can play this game in high def on the PS3 because that would be icing on the cake for me.

"I think Heavenly Sword and Lair will be released in March in conjunction with the European PS3 launch...It just makes sense."

It may make sense, but that doesn't mean it'll happen, at least not for us in the US.

For what it's worth, EBGames.com now lists Lair as 5/9, and Heavenly Sword as 6/2...

i dunno.... i played a demo of Motorstorm at EB games yesterday. I was let down. Sure the graphics were awesome, but the game was EXTREMELY SLOW! no joke, i thought the frame rate was acting up, but then i realized that its the game. then again, thats what i expected from it. gnarly graphics but boring gameplay.
