What's Europes favorite console? Yeah as if you had to ask! The annual event held in South-West London this year produced few shockers, accpet for Ubisoft walking away with around half the awards!
For the Game of the Year awards, there was the expected split between various nations. Interestingly, Battlefield 1942 stormed through as Game of the Year in France and Scandinavia, whereas the Italians went for, erm, Mafia, and the Spanish for GTA: Vice City. Splinter Cell took the honours in Germany, and the Brits surprised everyone by choosing Pro Evolution Soccer 2 as its star game.
Best console was maybe predictable, with the Xbox winning out, but less predictable was Publisher of the Year, which was awarded to Nintendo! The award for 'Best PC Hardware' was yet again won by the best spec graphics card: the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro - or Charlie to its spoddy friends.
The 'Best of Show' rosettes - not for the gun dog category - was of more interest to us, as it's voted for by an anonymous press panel of games journalists. And the winners are (cue drum roll...):
Best PC Game of the Show: Far Cry, Ubi Soft
Best Console Game of the Show: XIII, Ubi Soft
Best Handheld Game of the Show: Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, Nintendo
Best Online Game of the Show: Everquest II, Ubi Soft
Overall Best Game of the Show: XIII, Ubi Soft

Without a doubt, Nintendo gets that "best publisher" award for just showing up (at ECTS).
The show is hurting for displayers.
