Halo 4, Assassin’s Creed III and Others Nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing

January 17, 2013 by Jordan Erica Webber

The Writer’s Guild has announces its six-game shortlist

According to GamesIndustry.biz, the Writer's Guild has selected its nominees for the 2013 Writers Guild Awards, which includes the category for Outstanding Achievement in Videogame Writing. To qualify for the award, the game had to have been released between December 1st 2011 and November 30th 2012. Here's the full list, along with the writers responsible for each game:

007 Legends, Written By Bruce Feirstein; Activision

Assassin's Creed III, Story By Alex Hutchinson, Corey May, Matt Turner; Multiplayer Story By Richard Farrese, Jeffrey Yohalem; Lead Scriptwriter Corey May; Scriptwriter Nicholas Grimwood, Russell Lees, Matt Turner, Danny Wallace, Ceri Young; Ubisoft

Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Scriptwriting by Richard Farrese, Jill Murray; Ubisoft

Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Writing Consultant Marv Wolfman; Disney Interactive Studios

Halo 4, Narrative Design Christopher Schlerf; Microsoft Studios

Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Written By John Garvin; Sony Computer Entertainment America

Now, the people at the Writer's Guild who are responsible for these things presumably know what they're talking about, but some of the inclusions do seem curious, and there are some obvious absences too. I've not played 007 Legends, but it had some pretty poor reviews, some of which criticised the writing. And I know that Disney Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is not a very good game, though maybe they just liked the song lyrics for the musical bits.

As for others that might have made it onto the list, well, where is The Walking Dead?

I'm sure you'll all be glad that Halo 4 at least made it, but are there any other games you feel deserved a spot on the shortlist?
