     Man Uncharted 2 is looking to be pretty awesome. God of War 3 should have won action/adventure even though Uncharted is amazing.

    @8, I would have thought MW2 would win that one.

    @8

    MAG received an Award for Best Technical Achievement, although those displayed here are awards for the whole show, I don't think Technical Achievement was a category here, which is why one would assume MAG received no awards. Rest assured, it did.

    Uncharted 2 will blow everything out of the water. It's gonna be better than MW2!

    Natal was smoke and mirrors, atleast SONY's demo was real.

    I'm just glad that Filth Fantasy 13 won nothing.

    First of all the awards from E3 I'm pretty sure are only for games that are playable at E3 or on display at E3. Now I'm not 100% certain but wasn't God of War III only shown in video form and only at Sony's pre-E3 event?The important word there being "pre" i.e. not actually prt of E3 proper.

    I can honestly say I wasn't expecting to be impressed by Drake but that helicopter demo was something else.
