The time has come for the start of the video game "dry" season. . . a gaming drought, if you will. Although there are a few games being released this month that are worthy of your time and cash - like one of my April Must Haves: Mario Kart – truth be told, some are just filler until we get to the next batch of great games. Fortunately, we had a huge Winter, and my console is still humming to the likes of Rock Band, Mass Effect (will I ever get the time to finish!?), and of course Super Mario Galaxy. Scope out my picks for this month and tell me what you think in the comments below!
| Game | Why You'll Love It | Console/Price | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|
 |
Iron Man — You may already know how stoked I am for the movie, but I'm equally excited for the game as well. | PSP, DS, PS2, PC, Wii, $40 to $60 | Coming April 22 |
 |
Summer Sports: Paradise Island - Virtual volleyball, darts, horseshoes, and mini golf, all in a virtual resort? Sounds virtually perfect to me! Kinda like Wii Sports, just with a lot more sand. | Wii, $40 | Out April 9 |
 |
Mario Kart — Not only can you race your fave characters at home and online, but add in motorcycles and a Wii Wheel to the mix and you have an awesome racing party! Just be careful — those little kids that play online can be pretty good drivers. You better practice first! | Wii, $50 | Racing into stores April 27 |
 |
Arcana Heart — A gaggle of eleven heroic females are fighting to save the Earth from evil at all costs. Talk about some geeky girl power! | PS2, $30 | Out April 8 |
 |
Let's Pilates! - I know this one is kind of a "stretch" (ha ha), but it does fall nicely into place with the upcoming Wii Fit and the DS Weight loss coach. Just getting you ready for swimsuit season! | Nintendo DS, $10 | Get it April 29. |

I've been waiting for the summer sports one for a while. I am excited for mini golf especially.
1How does one do pilates while holding a DS for instruction? That's one I don't really get...
2Mario Kart is my next one..I'm curious about the pilates one. How would you do it? I can't even do them off of my ipod. Luckily its only $10
3I'm definitely getting Mario Kart!
4We've already bought Mario Kart! But the Summer Sports one looks good too!
5I agree, Summer Sports could be good too. But Mario Kart is going to be awesome, I can't wait! I think I may pre-order Mario Kart soon.
6Mario Kart is going to be awesome. Can't wait to have 16 player races with all my friends online. Can't wait... Can't wait...
7i can't say i'm into mario kart. maybe if i knew more people who'd play with me online.
sad.
with just me and my roommie, it gets a bit boring
8Hi tdamji,
I send you my friend code for mario kart once I get the game. And anyone else who wants to race online.
You can also join races with random people online, but racing with friends is always funner.
