THE BUZZ: Square-Enix has announced what games it will be bringing to PAX East next week.

The following titles will be playable at their booth:

Heroes of Ruin (3DS)
Quantum Conundrum (PSN, XBLA, PC)
Risen 2: Dark Waters (PS3, 360, PC)
Sleeping Dogs (PS3, 360, PC)
Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy (3DS)
WAKFU (PC)

Square-Enix will also be hosting a Hitman: Absolution panel, featuring a gameplay demo and Q&A session with IO Interactive on Saturday.

EGM’s TAKE: We’re a bit disappointed to once again see a lack of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, considering how long it’s been since we last saw anything of the title. The rest of the line-up is pretty much what you would expect from the publisher, with all of its major titles present. A chance to go hands on with Sleeping Dogs is probably the pick of the bunch. Finally for all you WAKFU fans attending the event, you should certainly swing by and have a play as Square will be offering a free in-game item.

Matthew Bennett has only been covering the gaming world for a short while, but he’s eager to make his mark. An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com.
