Hopefully after this we wont get any more games with cheesy dialogue... Resident Evil anyone???... That game had the cheesiest dialogue (writing) i have ever heard, just the thought of it right now gave me CHILLS... If any games is nominated for this Bioshock should get, and thank God that these Awards are not Hype-Driven otherwise Halo probably would end up getting it or Gears of War. (I love Gears of War but not the Dialogue)

WOOT. But how come game writing gets acknowledged before game music composing?

This could prove to be pretty interesting. Like Hecthor pointed out, it might be above the foray of a popularity/sales contest.

I'm not trying to ruffle feathers, but I thought the Halo 3 writing was pretty bad. Really bad, in fact. Any Cortana dialog was embarrassing. Thankfully the gameplay was fantastic; it kept the forgettable dialog easily forgotten.

Seconded. Shame they won't look at old games, it's my opinion that Planescape: Torment has the best story and writing of any video game I've ever seen.

I'm suspicious of their motivation, that they want to encourage game studios and writers to go through them, just like television and movies.

And does this mean that when the writers guild strikes later this year as everyone seems to be predicting will it delay video games just like it's going to delay TV shows?

I don't think it means game writers go on strike, since they aren't part of the guild, yet. I think it a way for the WGA to bring them in under the next contract after the strike.

It's a shame this award wasn't around when Metal Gear Solid 2 was released. That game had better writing than about 95% of all movies ever.

Judging by the first two games in the series, I think Phoenix Wright 3 takes it this year.

lol @ "game writing as a craft". The games with the best stories often have little to no writing in them, a la Ico. If Halo 3 wins an award for writing, the prize will have jumped the shark in its first fucking year.

A) Most game writing, even in good games, really isn't all that good.
B) Bioshock would probably win this, not only for the concept creation, but also for the dialogue itself.

Anyone else think that Hotel Dusk deserves this award all over the place?
