Best Videogame Writing Nominees Announced

JelalTrueshot | January 15, 2008 | Industry News | PC Playstation 3 Company 
The WGA has released the nominees of their new category, Best Videogame Writing today. The list seems alright, but I agree with the oversight of Mass Effect on the source page, there was just way too much well-thought out content in there to overlook.
Nominees:
  • 'Crash of the Titans,' written by Christopher Mitchell for Sierra Entertainment
  • 'Dead Head Fred,' written by Dave Ellis and Adam Cogan for D3 Publisher
  • 'The Simpsons Game,' with lead writer Matt Selman, written by Tim Long and Matt Warburton, dialogue by Jeff Poliquin for Electronic Arts
  • 'The Witcher,' with lead story designer Artur Ganszyniec, dialogue by Sebastian Stepien, additional dialogue by Marcin Blacha and writers Sande Chen and Anne Toole for Atari
  • 'World in Conflict,' story design by Christofer Emgard, story consultant Larry Bond and script consultant Ed Zuckerman for Sierra Entertainment.

    Relax...it's a decent list, imo, showing games that aren't too huge yet were well-written. My money's on World in Conflict.

    Hmm, strange, unless Oblivion/Shivering Isles hasn't been nominated before, they NEED to be mentioned here.

    The Simpsons game actually has some of the cleverest writing I've ever seen in a game. Seriously the last boss battle consists of beating God at Dance Dance Revoloution, you can't beat that

    oh this one is easy - its gotta be the witcher. amazing RPG that has been criminally overlooked. its got a great story and, although the script has been cut down a bit from the more mature polish version, the script is pretty good.
