Rumored E3 2010 Video Games
During April, different rumors spread over the Internet about other titles that could be announced at E3 2010. These rumors appeared especially after a so called leaked E3 list was posted on a Russian website. The list contains some titles that have been announced such as Guitar Hero 6 and LittleBigPlanet 2 but also contains some titles that haven’t been confirmed by any E3 officials. Video games such as Mass Effect 3, Call of Duty MMO, God of War 3 Afterfall, Fahrenheit 2 or Battletoads are categorized as rumors since nobody confirmed them and the chances to see them in June 2010 at E3 are diminished by the statements the developers made regarding them. In the Related Mahalo Pages section you can see a list with all these titles and you can find more information about them. http://en.wikinoticia.com/Technology/games/43404-filtered-a-fake-e3-list
