Fallout: New Vegas, Assassin's Creed receive WGA noms

wow. if they needed a sci-fi title, choose mass effect. i cant see how it has worse writing than force unleashed

God of War for sure!!!

Is me, or is this list full of all crappy games, and only 4-5 good games?

the writers guild must have had a fire drill that day and forgot to finish up the nominee lists?

sweet i LOVE Ubisoft games! im glad Prince of Persia AND Assassin's Creed B0TH got noms

How could they miss Red Dead?!?!

Is anyone else surprised that Red Dead Redemption isn't on this list?

I won't be getting Brotherhood at all because of the PS3 exclusives. AC2 was great fun but I was first dubious when they announced the next game so soon after that a few years ago it would have been called an expansion and sold for half the price. Then they reveal that only PS3 owners will get the full experience. Bit of a middle finger to everyone else, really. So f*ck em.

I don't give a crap about who is getting the award. Assassin Creed: Brotherhood is delivering the PC version so late that I started to lose my patience and hopes on it. Not even a specific dates was announced. Hopefully not by the time when Dead Space 2 and Crysis 2 is already out, cause both games are my target!

> Assassins Creed > Good Story pick one

I guess WGA dont write much lately, just review stuff.

The only nom that New Vegas should've gotten is "Disappointment of the Year". What a disaster that was.

No alan wake? Seems this is the one reward Alan Wake should win hands down, but the lack of mention is just mind boggling, I mean the game is pretty much just narrating a book.

Who do you have to bribe to get an award these days?

Amazing, the reaction a comment gets simply for stating that the Assassin's Creed series has great gameplay but shoddy script/dialogue and plot progression. Okay, I didn't actually mention the gameplay in my previous comment but I assumed it went without saying. AC has a great engine. But the story is laughably bad.

looks like they should have not made this game at all

AC:B FTW!!!

Assassins creed brotherhood, red dead, and starcraft 2. ACB for the win

I loved Mass Effect 2, but it's no surprise to me it didn't make the list. That game had virtually no plot. Kinda shocking to me since the first Mass Effect's plot was so excellent.

Singularity was one of the best Least played games ever!

i do love this game but i still can't find ED-E anywhere after he was blown to pieces by the Boomers and i still have his Perk. i waited all those in game days any everything.

I'll go with Creed on this one with mass Effect 2 not even on the menu

Assassins creed for the win!!

WGA needs to consult GameSpot first, then put titles for nomination, where's Mass Effect 2 ?

Singularity had a good story line !! i don't know about the rest .

Falllout: New Vegas, fair enough. AC: Brotherhood... Really? Okay, I haven't actually played that one but AC I & II had pretty poor writing.

A few games I never thought I would see on that list

wow i thought new vegas story was pants. guess the majority doesent mean s**t now

@ThePowerOfThat: Am surprised you didn't get any thumbs up coz you've answered the question everyone been asking. Only WGA members are eligible for WGA awards and not all game writers are members of it. That is why some better written games are not on list while shockers like SWTFU2 and ACB are.

I would be more appreciative of the star wars FU2 story if not for the *SPOILERS* cliffhanger/unfinished ending, plotholes, unexplained points, etc.

what a poor selection, Force Unleashed 2 story is a joke!! SWFU2 didn't live up original title ;)

And these are a few of my non-favorite things...

Where's Mass Effect 2? Where's Red Dead Redemption? Where's Alan Wake?

who? what? where? how?

@ D1zzyCriminal Singularity def does deserve more recognition, it was one of the funnest shooters I have played all year. More people should really play that game.

Mass Effect 2 should have gotten nominated that defiently had one of the best stories last year and of course Heavy Rain.

why dont they fix the glitches now? those lazy bums

God of War is here but not MASS EFFECT 2 ??? Kratos hardly talks!

The Writers' Guild of America must have given up reading a while back...

Wow, not the list I would've came up with.

I thought Assassin Creed Brotherhoods writing was horrible, the game and a sloppily rushed beginning and end, the only reason I put up with it was because the gameplay in between was decent, the ending too upset a lot of people, but by that point I couldn't have cared less because I was still pretty pissed by how they rushed the last two sequences were, I felt pretty cheated by that.

The problem is that so few games even qualify for Writers Guild awards because so few writers for games are in said Guild. So half the time the games that receive nominations are ones that, in general opinion, actually have substandard writing.

Who picks the nominees? I'd question a couple of the selections.

Singularity deserves way more recognition.

alright some love for prince of persia finally

And FU 2 stands for Force Unleashed 2, not, well, you know, the OTHER FU.

@ s4dn3s5 I'm pretty sure they nominated the first one...for some reason. They don't say FU 2.

Go New Vegas.
