Fallout: New Vegas, God of War 3 Nominated at WGA

The Writers Guild of America just disseminated the nominees for this year’s Video Game Writing Award.  Among the titles listed, God of War 3 Fallout: New Vegas, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, Singularity, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II, and Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood.  Notable non-includes:  Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, and in my opinion Splinter Cell: Conviction.

1up reports that some of these more notable non-inclusions may be due to the Writer’s Guild Award rules for nominations.  ” To be considered for the award, a game must have seperate writing credits, and the writers also have to be members of the WGA.
