I actually wanted to buy this game but the reviews were pretty bad.

Honestly, if this had been an interactive comic game like MGS:DIGITAL GRAPHIC NOVEL(or how DEATH JR *should* have been); this game probably would've been even better. The gameplay was just too repetative and there was more backtracking than the early RESIDENT EVIL games. x_o" If you can find this game for under $25, it's worth a purchase though.

It was ok. The writing was witty at times but the clunky gameplay ruined it for me.

Portal should have won. In fact, Portal should win every award. Ever.

Agreed. Portal is easily one of the best written games ever made, if not THE best.

I was waiting and waiting for this game when it was announced..

When the launch day came, I went looking for it.. But as far as I can tell, it was never put on shelves. I have literally never seen this game before.

The problem with Mass Effect's writing is that it lacks originality. I don't even watch that much sci-fi, but it seems like every couple days I hear about another thing Mass Effect ripped off. And yeah, it's cool to borrow or whatever, but sometimes the paralels are simply direct lifts -- like the Terra Prima "Earth First!" people you run into you are racist against aliens or whatever. I was reading about Star Trek in wikipedia, and there was an organization of that exact name and function in the prequel series! (and they, similarly, got in the way of Earth's efforts to join/form an interplanetary government thingy-ma-bob). That's just one example, there's a billion others, but I don't want to get in a comment war with some fanboy, so I'll leave it at that. But anyways, you probably shouldn't expect much recognition from the WGA when your writing copies other guild member's concepts and terminologies.

In order to have been considered for nomination for the WGA award, the development team or publisher had to submit the game script to the Writer's Guild for consideration. So, it's more likely that the games in question (BioShock, Mass Effect, and so on) simply were not submitted for consideration.

We only found out about the awards about two weeks before the deadline, so it's not surprising that some might have missed out on submitting. Or maybe weren't interested in submitting.

So...there's really no need to feel "uneasy" about it. Just encourage your favorite developers to submit their scripts next year if you want to see a particular game win.

So any word on a Drop Dead Fred videogame? No, I guess I'm the only one that cares.

I bought this a couple of months ago and couldn't believe how much I liked it. John C. McGinley was hilarious in it and the gameplay was pretty nice. I think it's only $15 now, which is a great deal for what you get.

Y'know... if it wasn't only on PSP... and I could actually find the game... I'd definitely buy it. But I'm never ever going to buy a PSP. It' the only system I won't buy.
