The Tokyo Game Show is looming ever so near and we're prepping up for what the developers have in store for us. One such developer doesn't seem to want us guessing what they're offering come TGS: Sega. Sega's official website has been updated with their line-up for this year and we have to say the the list ain't too shabby. Not shabby at all.

Remember Ryu Ga Gotoku? It was better known as Yakuza on these and Europe's shores. Hopefully, we'll finally see a sequel (Ryu Ga Gotoku 2 doesn't really count as it was only released in Japan) and it's going to come busting to the PlayStation 3. It is currently called Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzen and is scheduled for spring of next year.

Sega is pretty much loaded in titles for the PS3, DS, PS2, and Wii, while the Xbox 360 and PSP rosters are a bit bare. The titles to keep an eye on are Bleach: The Third Phantom, Battlefield of the Valkyrie, Sonic Rush Adventure, and Ghost Squad, among others. Anyway, here's the list with their respective ETAs courtesy of Siliconera.

PlayStation 3

• Imabi Kisou - Oct. 25
• Sega Rally - Jan 2008
• Ryu Ga Gotoku Kenzen- Spring 2008
• Battlefield of the Valkyrie - Spring 2008

Back in the sleepy state of Colorado, mysterious MAXUM Games has been working on a fantasy title that promises to erase boundaries between comics and gaming. Based from Lara Croft Memoirs, the upcoming comic book series by R.H. Stavis, Demons of Mercy is an action/adventure game that takes place in the not so distant future.

Here, we follow beautiful assassin Mercy Dawn with a rather conflicting past. She was an orphan, adopted by the mob, and then eventually trained by the Yakuza. In one of her missions, she realizes all of a sudden that she is caught in an epic war between Heaven and Hell; and only she has the the key to salvation.

Aside from the basic plot, no further details are available as of the moment. However as part of Maxum's Real-Time Collaboration marketing strategy, they recently opened a website that features the comic version of Demons of Mercy.

Remember that the thin line that seperates us from being chimps is free will. So exercise your right to choose by going over the esteemed list of game releases here and abroad. If you don't so much as skim through these lists, then that's a very thin line you're walking my friend.

Here are the games to be released on all platforms for this week (until September 9) according to Gamasutra's Release This!. Time to rewrite that Christmas wish list don't you think?
