Sony Launches E3 Site, Inadvertently Teases Titles 26
Thanks to EvilAvatar for its article discussing the recent launching of Sony's E3 site, showcasing "a few select [PlayStation 2] titles" that'll be displayed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles next month, including Champions 2: Return To Arms, the Snowblind-developed Champions Of Norrath sequel. However, if you "start fiddling with the numbers at the end of the URL" on the official site, you can see very basic, unlinked-to info on other games that'll be publicly shown by Sony at E3, including the unannounced action title Rise Of The Kisai from Bottle Rocket/Sony, Dark Cloud 3 from Sony, Final Fantasy XII from Square Enix, Destroy All Humans! from Pandemic/THQ, and, interestingly, Cold Fear from Namco, a survival horror (?) title (related to the thought-lost U.S.S. Antarctica?) rumored in development at Alone In The Dark IV developers Darkworks. Update: 04/26 18:30 GMT by S : The entire site, even the previously public titles, are now password-protected and private.

Whoops, now it broke my formatting. I wanted the smilie to be two lines lower to give a sense of suspense whether I am joking or not. I see what you mean.
Hmm...
Damn, too lazy to write the html just to fix that.

Possible explanation (Score:5, Insightful)
I'm not saying that that's DEFINITELY the answer, but for all we know they're just trying to bring up buzz for games that they knew would strike a chord with players, such as Dark Cloud 3 and Kill All Humans! (FFXII is a given to be shown off this year, but I had no idea that Dark Cloud would be getting another sequel. It deserves it, though.)

Anyone got the pages in their cache they can put up somewhere? Heck, I can mirror them if you do.
