Blizzard's Wrath of the Lich King expansion has garnered some more praise via three Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominations. The nominations are for Computer Game of the Year and Massively Multiplayer Online Game of the Year and Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition. The first nomination seems much more like an honorable nod, but the second two are very likely wins for Blizzard and its second expansion. Speaking purely in terms of composistion, the music design in World of Warcraft -- and especially in Wrath -- has been some of the best in the business.

We won't know the winners until February 18th-20th when they're announced at the 2009 DICE Summit, but we wish the Blizzard team the best of luck on all three nominations.

I think MMO of the year should really go to WAR. Not because it is better just because it was actually released in 2008 instead of just expanding on an already existing game.

I rank these nominations right up there with the PC Gamer game of the year award.

If it makes the most money it must be the best...blah blah....

Doesn't matter. I still love my Lotro and it ranks tops in my book.

Nice, the music and art of WoW and pretty much anything by Blizzard is beast. I actually have Warcraft composed music on my ipod that I listen to while going to sleep. Their artists are fantastic. I know people that don't even play their games but are huge fans of their art.
