Crtical Gamers' March 2008 Gaming Roundup

Guess what, it's here: Happy Spring folks! March disappears down the back of the horizon and we're anxious to emerge from another cold, dark winter in the northeast.

March was more about prerelease news, but we did see a few new titles ship this month.

The Descent: Journies in the Dark expansion Road to Legend should keep advanced adventure-gamers busy for about a year or even longer - seriously that expansion is crazy big. And on the lighter side of the fence the family friendly eurogame Thurn & Taxis expanded this March for the second time in as many years.

The main news stories this month have an eye looking down the pipe of releases, some beyond April still and into June. D&D 4th Edition is gigantic blip on our anxious anticipation radar, as is the WoW TCG Servants of the Betrayer set release, and the new Carcassonne installment New World. Surely it's not a shotgun blast of releases, but each of these will be high impact release that host some considerable staying power.

Here's to a good month.
