March, you crazy eccentric fool. What did you have in store for us this year? Never mind the BAFTA and Challenge Pack #2 and Basketball, we covered those in the News rundown. Although we didn’t specifically call out things like designer Shaun flaunting himself in front of the cameras at the Xbox Showcase where Basketball was unveiled, or the Season Two team photoshoot in the Rare grounds when the BAFTA trophies came home. So there’s that.

Other news and events falling into March’s psionic mesh of social media included word of our music team having a hand in the soundtrack to Fable Heroes, Stuff Magazine finding room for Rare in their Best of British issue, an alleged cameo for Kinect Sports in Home and Away, our very own Twycross Sport Relief mile, and licensing issues causing old gold GoldenEye to miss its moment at the Smithsonian. Bah. And two more words for luck: Cat Daddy.

A trio of slots in IGN’s Top 100 Video Game Weapons marked one of our bigger offsite old-school showings in March. Cubed3 also shared the love in its celebratory N64 Month: top soundtracks and best games in general got a shout out. GameTrailers went back further still to celebrate the ambient monkey sounds of DKC in their BackTrack video feature. Meanwhile, after last month’s provocation, Rareware Archives went mental for lists and ended up covering Sinners, Remixes, Schwarzenegger, Reveals and even a three-in-one-day list splurge.

Elsewhere amidst the miscellaneous chatter we dissed the bad habits of wildlife from wasps to rooks, made off with junkfood from strange alien realms (or at least Iceland), kept an eye on NeoGAF’s search for spiritual stablemates to Nuts & Bolts, and even noted down a few more of the standout reactions to Kinect Sports: Season Two on Amazon.

And then the cleaners started hoovering the corridors and we realised we were pretty much done for the month. If you’d care to join us before the next summary, April’s action is underway on Twitter and Facebook (under Rare or Kinect Sports). See you there. Check out how clean our carpets are.
