Sega announces E3 lineup for the PS3

Sega of America has announced its lineup of PlayStation 3 games that will be previewed at E3 2006. Included in the list of games is the new Sonic the Hedgehog, which is celebrating the original's 15th anniversary, and Full Auto 2: Battlelines, a PS3 exclusive. The full list, including descriptions, is below.

The Club

Earn money killing criminals in an underground game of death. For most people The Club exists only as an urban legend - a game where criminals are paid huge amounts to carry out gunfights and where online spectators view, gamble and cheer them on in a deadly game of skill. Criminals risk their lives to earn huge money satisfying the vicarious bloodlust of the super rich. People are fascinated by the idea but no-one really believes that The Club exists. Yet the rumours are true. People are getting rich. People are watching. People are dying. The Club is slated for a Summer 2007 release.

Full Auto 2: Battlelines

Full Auto 2: Battlelines is the next generation of combat-racing, exclusively for the PlayStation 3. The sequel to the award-winning Full Auto, Full Auto 2: Battlelines puts high-speed vehicles outfitted with weapons and armor into fully realized and fully destructible urban street environments. Strategically use destruction to win races as well as leave massive devastation in your wake. Players can destroy the environment to dynamically change track conditions to block competitors, open new paths, or crush opponents with falling debris caused by well-timed missiles. Full Auto 2: Battlelines also introduces a new Arena Mode featuring team play and six different levels, each specifically designed for a unique type of multiplayer car combat. Full Auto 2: Battlelines is expected in stores in November 2006.

With revolutionary dynamically deformable terrain, proprietary next-generation graphics, bone-jarringly realistic physics, and competitive bumper-to-bumper racing, SEGA Rally Revo will set a new benchmark in its genre with a high-tempo driving experience that's every racing fan's driving fantasy. Coming in Spring 2007.
