Looking ahead, but not too far, just the next month. I got a few I'd like to play. 

Earth Defense Force Iron Rain. This will be a download on PS4 on April 11th. It's finally looking more sharp than 2025, 4.1 and 5. It's a little weird it's out so soon after EDF 5 though. EDF 5 just went on sale for $35 on PSN a week ago. I almost bought it, but my price is $20. I'll wait. I'll probably have to wait on Iron Rain as well. No physical release and no chance to rent it, I believe. 

Anno 1800 on PC, April 16th. I've always wanted to play this series. They did a version of Anno 1404 for Wii called Dawn of Discovery. I played that, and it was great but probably much simplified from the PC version. Still, it suggested I would love the series.

You build cities and have real-time strategy battles - lots of resource management stuff. It reminds me of Warcraft II back in the day with more emphasis on the building and resource management. I like the historical stuff too even though they do tend to gloss over the uglier parts of these times.

I will probably not get to play it though because my PC won't handle it. I have a keyboard hooked up to my XBO, and it works great. Just add keyboard support, and it could run on XBO. I want. 

 

Konami Arcade Classics. This is coming with their 50th anniversary including 8 games: Haunted Castle, Typhoon (A.Jax), Nemesis (Gradius), Vulcan Venture (Gradius II), Lifeforce (Salamander), Thunder Cross, Scramble and Twinbee. I'm excited for Twinbee. I love that series. April 18th is the release date for download on all systems.
