April showers bring May flowers as they say. Who are they? The weathermen, perhaps? Biologists? Who knows? The point here is that April will shower you with new games. Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition kickstarts the month. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy and Mortal Kombat 11 follow suit. Anno 1800 and World War Z are also coming. Oh, and the Ides of March may have ended, but we could crown a new Caesar since we’ve also got Imperator: Rome.
