One of my favorite pre-E3 rituals is to speculate on all the new games and tech coming out of the convention. In the past I have been right (predicted Final Fantasy XIII being multi-platform two years ago) and deadly wrong (predicted Wii to have console exclusivity of Resident Evil 5). So what about this year? Will I be proven wrong and forced to bow my head in shame or will I replace Nostradamus (look it up) as the greatest source for future news? Guess we`ll find out next week.
