The game engine is generally the core functions used in the game, usually related to graphics , input , networking and things like that. Another way to understand what a game engine is would be considerating them as the game-inespecific part of the game, so we can have several games ranging from RPGs to FPSs using the same engine. In small projects, it's sometimes common for the game engine to get messed up with the game itself, but having them separated allows the engine to be re-used more easily.

Without getting into too many details, the three general-purpose CPU's the xbox360 has are currently FAR easier to take advantage of than the SPU's on the PS3.
