We’re on vacation this week but trying to keep you informed and entertained with a round-up of our favorite Multiplayer content.

MTV News covered plenty of gaming goings-on this year. And not just the obvious stuff like E3, “Halo 3” and the creation of new Wii mini-game collections.

We did all that, of course.

But..

• We also talked to video gamers in Baghdad about keeping up with games like “Metal Gear Solid” while living in a war-torn city.

• We found pro wrestlers who do moves based on video games (and some who dress up in Nintendo Game Boy tights).

• We broke a lot of stories related to the fallout surrounding the fascinating “Donkey Kong” rivalry documentary King of Kong (coming to DVD in January).

• We even investigated how video game designers decide what happens to the virtual dead bodies of the enemies you kill in most action games.

We did plenty more. But that’s not a bad variety, huh?

More Multiplayer highlights coming tomorrow!
