Welcome to the March 1, 2010 edition of carnival of video game bloggers.

Still, the Blog Carnival rolls on with some fantastic content this month as always. Let’s get on with the show!

Eric Gargiulo presents Kickin’ It Old School: New Super Mario Bros Wii Review posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, “Back in the early 1990’s, Super Mario Bros. dominated the platform game market, and for good reason. Super Mario Bros. 3 was and still is the most successful video game to have ever been released, spawning a generation of competition that could not even come close to its dominance. Super Mario Bros. 3 was the most sold and highest reviewed NES games to have ever been released, this game has even the dubious honor of having one of the first product placement movies ever to be its launch pad.”

Matthew Overstreet presents Gritty Grand Theft Auto 4 is a Humorous Comedy posted at Matthew Overstreet’s Film Thoughts.

Eric Gargiulo presents Clank To The Future: Ratchet & Clank Video Game Review posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, “Ratchet & Clank have been some of my favorite games across multiple Playstation systems both portable and console. The first game was an instant classic on the PS2, it introduced new ways to play a 3D platform and it also brought with it a very good sense of humor. Jak & Daxter at the time were the kings of the 3D platform for the PS2 and many felt that this game would simply just use those characters as a spring board to make some cash, but they were wrong.”

Tony Huynh presents Greatest Video Game Trailers, God of War III (3) Release date and cover posted at LimitlessUnits.com, saying, “A countdown to the greatest video game trailers of all time. God of War III release date and cover finalized.”

UFC Undisputed 2010 is just a few months away with a scheduled May 25, 2010 release date. One of the designers from THQ recently revealed a ton of news and details about the upcoming MMA video game. As great as the first UFC Undisputed video game was, if even half of these changes and improvements live up to expectations, this game could go down as one of the greatest video games of all time.”

Eric Gargiulo presents Madden 2010 Tips: Breaking Down The Cover 2 Defense posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, “This year it’s a bit harder to break down the Madden 2010 Cover 2 defense, since you can’t just put the tight end on a streak and get between the safeties. You have to open up the playbook a bit more to do this.”

If it’s a good nano, someone will break free even with a TE blocking.”

Well enter the PSP Go, a screen sliding, hard drive equipped, much more smaller and sleek looking PSP brings with it a new way of playing gaming while on the go. Instead of a media drive such as a Game Card slot like the Nintendo DS or the UMD with the current PSP, the Go relies solely on downloading anything and everything.”
