The #3 one seems like it has to be Star Wars. The two companies would be JJP and Stern I think. I'm assuming he was saying he shouldn't bash the game because that would be sort of like talking down about his employer.
Edit: hmm, after listening to the whole segment its not super clear. It could be that he's doing two games for JJP and one for Stern and that's "the battle", but the battle could easily be part of the game's theme. Though I guess Star Wars still had two factions!
Agreed I wish he could talk about the games, but I also sort of understand why companies keep the titles quiet until close to the launch. Launches get delayed often enough and people get pissed. Imagine how mad they'd be after waiting a year longer and still seeing a delay.
