While the Writers Strike may be continuing over in America (god knows when it will end!) the Writers Guild of America has turned to support video game writers with a new category in the WGA Awards.

Titled the Videogame Writing award there is a nice selection of nominees.

VIDEOGAME WRITING NOMINEES

CRASH OF THE TITANS, Written by Christopher Mitchell, Sierra Entertainment

DEAD HEAD FRED, Written by Dave Ellis and Adam Cogan, D3 Publisher

THE SIMPSONS GAME, Lead Writer Matt Selman, Written by Tim Long and Matt Warburton, Dialogue by Jeff Poliquin, Electronic Arts

THE WITCHER, Lead Story Designer Artur Ganszyniec, Dialogue Sebastian Stepien, Additional Dialogue Marcin Blacha, Writers Sande Chen and Anne Toole, Atari

WORLD IN CONFLICT, Story Design Christofer Emgard, Story Consultant Larry Bond, Script Consultant Ed Zuckerman, Sierra Entertainment

Great to see video game writers getting further and greater exposure. While I have not played any of these games (and I wonder where Portal is!) I think there have been some good nominations especially with World in Conflict and The Simpsons Game.
