Nippon Ichi Software and NIS America are teaming up yet again on the best Strategy RPG franchise the world has ever seen. In their annual press event last week, NIS America revealed that Disgaea 2 D2: A Brighter Darkness will be making its debut in North America in the Fall of 2013. The title, which ships in Japan next month, will once again be exclusively on the PlayStation 3 platform.

Sony's biggest, internally active, First Person Shooter franchise, Killzone was shown off at the PlayStation 4's First Reveal Event. Like Killzone 2 was used to show off the PlayStation 3, Killzone Shadow Fall wowed and amazed with awesome visuals on the screen. What is better, Shadow Fall has been confirmed to be a launch title for the new PS4 by Guierrilla Games Senior Producer Ter Heide.

Sony is ushering the next generation with their very own new IP. Knack is a action game that has Mark Cerny, the Lead PS4 Architect, as the Game Director. Bringing his expertise from past action/platformer games like Jak & Daxter, Crash Bandicoot, and Ratchet & Clank, Knack gives the control over what would appear to be a Computer Generated movie from Dreamworks or Disney Pixar.

At the PlayStation 4's First Reveal Event, in New York, Blizzard surprised everyone in attendance when Blizzard came on stage to reveal that Diablo III is coming for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

As Sony ushered in their last console, PlayStation 3, Sucker Punch made the most of the new hardware by creating a new franchise. Gone were the days of them developing new adventures for Sly Cooper and his crew. They had moved on to inFamous. With the PlayStation 4, they still have plenty to do within the world. At the PlayStation 4's First Reveal Event, Sucker Punch showed off inFamous Second Son.

Our friends over at Astro showed us the new A50 wireless headsets that are coming out in a few weeks during E3. For those of you unaware, Astro is made up of many talented people who have created many amazing products. These products go back to the iPAQ from Compaq, all of the iconic Alienware desktops and laptops before Dell acquired them, the Xbox 360 controller, and even the micro console and controller from OnLive.

Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of Final Fantasy, and some consider the father of the JRPG, is on to his next project, The Last Story. My first thoughts of the game are based around the title. What exactly is Sakaguchi's fascination with titles that speak of the finality of his games? How could there be a Final Fantasy sequel when it was final? If there is another the Last Story, how can it be the last one?
