This pre-E3 link was picked up on Twitter and lists various ‘confirmed’ titles for this years E3 including Killzone 3, LBP2, XBL Bond game (our bets, GoldenEye), Gears 3 and inFamous 2.

Another title sure to get the rumour mill going is Mass Effect 3 but not just for its unveiling, but for the fact that it will be done by Sony, adding fuel to the fire yet again that BioWare’s epic sci-fi franchise may finally make it onto Sony’s box.

See the picture of the leak after the jump with even more games to salivate over. Just remember, and we do stress this, it is only a rumour and the validity of the leak cannot be proven.
