While we source the official trailers from publishers to locally host here on AusGamers, we thought we'd share the info dropped at the show, for anyone who wasn't at their computer over the weekend (so just hit the following links for the YouTube videos), beginning with arguably the biggest reveal - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Not much info here, but the trailer is definitely tantalising and should have Elder Scrolls fans happy to know it's November, 2011 bound.
That cheeky BioWare teaser turned out to be a stylish reveal for Mass Effect 3 where it looks like Earth is going to play a major role - again, this is another 2011 release.
Naughty Dog showed off some seriously incredible footage of Nathan Drake's next adventure, which sees him desert-bound and typically against all odds once again; these guys can seriously do no wrong with this franchise - Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
Batman also made a stylish appearance at the awards in a trailer that should even have Christopher Nolan standing up and taking notice of a truly better-directed Dark Knight. This trailer also revealed a new villain for Batman: Arkham City in Hugo Strange.
Not to be left out of the hype-mobile that is the SpikeTV VGAs, Insomniac showed of some actual gameplay footage for Resistance 3, which I must say is looking mighty nice.
One of the big surprises that made it out of the event was that Kratos, fresh from smashing his way through the Soul Calibur roster, would be invading NetherRealm's forthcoming Mortal Kombat reboot as a playable character.
More videos were shown, including Forza 4, Prototype 2, Thor, Insane (Guillermo Del Toro) and SSX: Deadly Descents (reveal), and as mentioned earlier in this post , we'll hopefully get all of them up and accompanied by game pages as soon as the Aussie publishers hook us up with the official goods, so stay tuned for more details and media as we chase it all up for you.

-- It's still Sunday in the U.S. and most game PR types don't work weekends
-- Spike and Gametrailers are both MTV subsidiaries and so GT is the only place with exclusivity on all the trailers released during the event.
It's quite retarded really. But I guess publishers that want the announcement exposure of the VGAs think it's worth snubbing every other online publication for.

Oh yes, I wondered if I was the only person who noticed how dodgy that was.
Adding on to my previous list, would be good if the character was more acrobatic in their jumping, sort of like the jedi knight games, instead of just raising their feet and hovering..
