Today, Sega revealed its game line-up for next week’s E3 convention, listing such titles as Aliens vs. Predator, Bayonetta, and Planet 51. For the RPG fans out there, Resonance of Fate (End of Eternity) won’t be making an appearance at E3 apparently; Sega will reserve that game for TGS, most likely.
