D3Publisher of America and developer Vicious Cycle Software’s Dead Head Fred, has won the Writers Guild of America’s first ever Videogame Writing Award. The winner was announced Friday, February 9 at the 2008 Writers Guild Awards.
“D3PA and the entire Dead Head Fred team at Vicious Cycle are all very grateful and humbled by this award,” said Yoji Takenaka, executive vice president and chief operations officer, D3PA. “We look forward to bringing fans many more top quality games and continuing to elevate the standard of game writing in the industry.”
Dead Head Fred was chosen for having the best videogame script of 2007. The game beat out some fierce competition. Other nominees were Sierra’s Crash of the Titans, CD Projekt’s The Witcher, EA’s The Simpsons Game and Sierra’s World in Conflict. They’re all really good games, and I don’t envy the guild the task of picking one winner.

Dead Head Fred was actually an extremely interesting story and one of my favorite PSP titles.
The need to retroactively give this award to the writers for Dreamfall: The Longest Journey 2. Best script ever
