Sega’s going to be showing up at the Penny Arcade Expo 2008 (PAX) that’s happening the last weekend in August, and they decided to prepare attendees by revealing its game lineup for the event. DS, PS2 and PS3 owners will be happy with the company’s offerings, as Bleach Dark Souls, Dinosaur King, Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, Valkyria Chronicles and Yakuza 2 will be on display.

So really, Sega’s going to use the event to show off some solid RPGs. Dinosaur King is a Pokemon-esque game for the DS, where you find fossils and create dinosaurs, and battle others who do the same. Sonic Chronicles is the DS Sonic the Hedgehog RPG from BioWare. Valkyria Chronicles is a PS3 strategic RPG with water-color style graphics that is receiving quite a bit of buzz. The other two titles being displayed, both sequels, are something special too, though…

Sega has released an official press release for Yakuza 2 (PS2) in honor of E3. Once again players will step into Kazuma Kiryu’s shoes to try and prevent a gang war in Tokyo and Osaka. Once again Toshiro Nagoshi and Seishu Hase, the producer and writer behind the first Yakuza, have created a whole new adventure for Yakuza 2. It will be released September 9, 2008.

It seems like Sega has really worked to improve the failings of the original Yakuza in Yakuza 2, and create a more immersive experience. The game will feature only Japanese voice acting, with English subtitles, locations in Tokyo and Osaka to visit (based on real establishments), a better fighting engine, more Heat moves to use in battles and the ability to take down more than one opponent with attacks. There will also be new free time activities for Kazuma, like bowling and putting at the driving range.
