Xbox 360 was named the station's favorite system -- which falls in line with the award distribution. Of the show's 18 game awards, only four went to titles not available on Microsoft's system: Best Graphics and Best Voice Acting for Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Best Racing Game for Nintendo EAD's Mario Kart Wii, and, by default, Best Handheld Game for Ready at Dawn's God of War: Chains of Olympus.

PS3 - SKATE - New Burnout, Skate on the way EA Games president reveals "extension" of driving and skateboarding series in next fiscal year, commits long-term to Mass Effect, and says next Need for Speed will return to series' roots.

Another new franchise EA is prepping a sequel for is Mass Effect, which was announced for the PC today. From the very first time now EA-owned developer BioWare showed it off in 2005, the role-playing game franchise was touted as trilogy. EA Games president Frank Gibeau's presentation today suggested it may not end there, as he told analysts that it "will be a franchise for [EA] for a very long time." He also said that going forward, EA will take over publishing duties on the Mass Effect franchise from Microsoft Game Studios, which handled the game's initial release on the Xbox 360.

PS3 - SKATE - No DLC Content for Skate Electronic Arts has become known for the amount of downloadable content they've tossed on Xbox Live, most infamously charging for what were essentially cheat codes in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007. Thankfully, however, that won't be the approach for their Tony Hawk rival, Skate.

"We're not planning any new content for Skate 1 ... We didn't want to go back and ask people for more money to get more shoes and shirts," said EA Black Box Executive Producer Scott Blackwood in an Afterthoughts interview featured in latest issue of EGM. "That's not how we wanted to enter this market."

PS3 - SKATE - Skate Retrospective Skate, the skateboarding sim from Electronic Arts, is the most realistic skateboarding game developed to date. But could it also be the most important? EA is hoping so, as it looks to redefine a genre that is synonymous with Tony Hawk, a franchise still going strong eight years after the release of the most revolutionary skate title, well, ever, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Hyperbole aside, we look back at the skate games that made the genre what it is today. And like most good things in life, our story starts in the '80s.

07 Sept 07 The guys over at PSM3 mag have been playing Skate to death over the past few days for an upcoming exclusive review.

When we published our "Eight things you MUST know about the Skate demo" earlier this week, we thought we were pretty much ahead of the game. Or at least, you know, equal to it.
