Dead Head Fred wins Writer Guild's very first game writing award

Now that the writers are back on work (hooray, TV!), it's time to take a moment and reflect on the Writers Guild of America's first ever choice for best video game writing.

The winner? Dead Head Fred for PSP. It's a game that (shamefully) almost no one bought. The more cynical of our readers may be asking, "But why them?" in a year that has so many great options. Mass Effect, Bioshock, Uncharted all come into mind. Well, these awards are limited to members of the WGA's New Media Caucus. Even with the limited candidate pool, this is a great first step for the industry -- we need more video game writers to be recognized for their efforts.
