Then, Capcom releases a demo for Steel Battalion on Xbox Live. The successor to the Xbox cult classic won't require a giant hundred-button controller, but it will need Kinect. Finally, we get a look at Sleeping Dogs, a new open-world action game set in Hong Kong.

Unsurprisingly, Mass Effect 3 topped software sales in March, the latest sales figures from the NPD show.

The PlayStation-exclusive MLB: The Show dominated 2K Games' multiplatform effort, Major League Baseball 2K12. The success of Street Fighter X Tekken, Mario Party 9, and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations shows the wide array of tastes sated by March's games. 3DS also found a winner in Kid Icarus Uprising, which "would have been among the top selling individual SKUs for the month of March" had NPD not combined sales data across multiple platforms.

While one particular aspect of Mass Effect 3 has gotten more than its share of coverage, another glitch that got lost in the shuffle was the fact that I couldn't get my Shepard to look the way he did in the first two games.
