Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, he realized, was the best job in the world -- it let him tell stories about space, the planet, climate change and the people working at the frontiers of human knowledge. He also owns a lot of ugly Christmas sweaters.

EA's Star Wars: Squadrons spaceship combat game is coming this fall.

 Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts pulled back the curtain on a handful of its upcoming titles during the EA Play Live event, with one huge surprise and a longer look at a new Star Wars title.

The centerpiece of the online showcase was that Star Wars game, Star Wars: Squadrons. The spaceship combat title was teased on Monday but had a much longer reveal, showing off different gameplay modes, vehicles and customization options. The 50 minute presentation also showed off a couple of titles from independent studios including It Takes Two from Hazelight and the gothic Lost in Random from Zoink. 

There was also a major surprise: A Skate sequel has finally been announced. Yes, Skate is back. We didn't get a single piece of footage, but the hype for a new Skate is so high the announcement may have overshadowed the rest of the show. 

But enough of us yammering on, you're here for trailers! And those trailers are below.
