I'm working on a new project for Photics.com... one that required me to visit the official NCsoft website. For those of you that don't know, NCsoft is the parent company of ArenaNet.
Here's the NCsoft Press Release

Guild Wars is up for Best Multiplayer game. Here's who they're up against...
World of Warcraft (Blizzard Entertainment)
SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs (Sony Computer Entertainment America)
Battlefield 2 (Electronic Arts)
City of Villains (NCSoft)
I wasn't going to watch. But hey, this involves my brethren. I'll be cheering for my team.
GO NCsoft... GO ArenaNet! :D
I think WoW will be tough to beat, but they're already nominated in five other categories. Unless Spike TV wants this to be a two-hour tribute to WoW, I suspect that WoW won't sweep. Guild Wars is clearly the best game in this category, as Guild Wars never hit me with a player queue or a $15 monthly fee. Plus, Guild Wars is global. Battlefield 2 was disappointing and City of Villains didn't seem as popular as Guild Wars. I'm not sure if Spike TV will pick up on all those important facts. If they do, I think Guild Wars has a good shot at taking this one. I'll be watching. Although, truth be known... Halo is still my favorite Multiplayer game. Two words: Rocket Launcher!
"Killing Spree!"
"Running Riot!"
Oh... and here's a link to Spike TV...
