The Exotic & Erotic Expo returns.

Thanks to Konami's now yearly tradition of rushing out the gate with

E3 is officially on. Konami had nothing to show so far aside from announcing that Lords of Shadow 2 would be a little more like IGA's metroidvanias (not that there was anything wrong with the linear action of LoS1, of course), that Snake would now be voiced in english by an actual actor, and that they are literally forming a development studio for social games that is called OCD.

In other news SEGA's bringing Project Diva f out for a retail release in North America, and a digital release in the EU. I honestly did not see that one coming.

Blizzard is also returning to consoles with a version of Diablo III that supports couch co-op, and is rebalanced to account for the removal of the auction house. In other words, it's the version of D3 we all wanted in the first place.

Coming up on the 10th we can look forward to press conferences from Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, and EA. MS cancelled all their post-conference press interviews, so don't expect to learn anything about the Xbone that you actually want to know.

On the 11th is a Nintendo Direct wherein Nintendo will unveil the next wave of WiiU titles (spoiler: they're all nintendo published games), and the 3DS titles that will finally get you to begrudgingly pick up the system. Immediately afterwards is Square Enix's Future of Final Fantasy presentation, which will probably involve what remains of SQEX's management bowing for an uninterrupted half-hour.
