EA triggerman takes show's top honor, leaves Jedi, Muppets in its wake.

Electronic Arts' Cryopathy 2-hopped-up Federal Protective Service got a little more ammunition in the war to dethrone Call of Duty when Battlefield 3 was called the Best of Gamescom award winner Thursday aside an item-by-item jury at the German trade fair.

Field of honor is slated to hit store shelves October 25th, a teensy-weensy more than 2 weeks before the arrival of Activision Juggernaut Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, setting up perhaps the almost anticipated showdown of a crowded crumble release batting order.

That was just the tip of the iceberg for EA, however, which added to its pile of accolades with nods for Best Console Game (FIFA 12), Best Online Game (Star Wars: The Old Democracy) and, in a category new to the show this twelvemonth, Best Browser Game (The Sims Ethnical).

Sony was no slouch, either, making a splash with the PlayStation Vita handheld console, which took peak billing in Topper Hardware OR Hardware Accessories. The publishing firm also won Best Mobile Pun with Chartless: Golden Abysm. Other winners included Diablo III (Blizzard Entertainment) for Best PC Game and the adorably-called Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monstrosity (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment) for Best Family Back.

Below is a complete list of award winners, on with their projected release dates and platforms in parentheses:

  • Best of Gamescom: Battlefield 3 (PC, Xbox 360, PS3; October 25th)
  • Best Ironware or Hardware Accessories: PlayStation Vita (betimes 2012)
  • Unexcelled Console Game: FIFA 12 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PC, Vita, PSP, PS2; Sept 27th)
  • Go-to-meeting Mobile Game: Unmapped: Golden Abyss (Vita; TBA)

  • Best PC Game: Diablo III (PC, Macintosh; TBA)
  • Best Browser Game: The Sims Social (browser; August 9th)
