With E3 exactly one week away it's time for all the companies to unveil their E3 lineups.  First up is Sega who will be showing off seven titles at the show.  Here's what will be in store at Sega's booth this year:
  • Aliens vs. Predator (360, PS3, PC)
  • Bayonetta (360, PS3)
  • Alpha Protocol (360, PS3)
  • Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii, DS)
  • Planet 51 (360, PS3, Wii, DS)
  • The Conduit (Wii)
  • Vancouver 2010 (360, PS3, PC)
John and I are booked to see Aliens Vs. Predators and Alpha Protocol respectively but it does look like a pretty killer lineup for Sega this year.  I'm hoping to find time for Bayonetta  and The Conduit as both games are starting to generate a bit of online buzz.
