So basically, this list is... totally stupid.

addendum: I haven't played Uncharted so I've no opinion on its being here.

LOL! WTF!? Wet and X-Men: Origins Wolverine??? Seriously?

They have Uncharted: Among Thieves right tho, that game did everything better than everyone else this year.

You'd think with the WRITERS Guild of America, Arkham Asylum would have been nominated.

 

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I wouldn't be surprised if David Gaider's writing for Dragons Age was more than all of those games combined (at a consistently high quality).

Don't know what you guys are talking about, this is the only list I see;

• Assassin's Creed 2
• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

Seems okay to me!

AC2's writing is pretty poor too. Uncharted 2 deserves it.

Dragon Age has great writing, sure, but it's a game full of stereotypical characters etc.

Still the list isn't THAT bad, considering they could have put Killzone 2 on there.

And Assassins Creed 2 and Uncharted 2 doesn't?

 

[Tron Bonne]

AC2's writing is pretty poor too.

Woah, woah, woah...woah. It's not the best written game of all time or anything, but overall it's fairly decently written. Definitely wouldn't call it poor. Wet, Wolverine and Mordern Warfare 2, however..

 

[Electro UK]

And Assassins Creed 2 and Uncharted 2 doesn't?

Dragon Age has a lot of fairly decent writing, sure, but it's all what is expected of the genre, nothing new or radical, and I personally believe Uncharted 2 is the exact opposite.

Dragon Age is just like Oblivion, but without the horrible voice acting and ridiculous NPC conversations.

Hey, do you not remember Captain Price's "We're ****ed, but GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!" speech at the end!?

Whats new and radical about Uncharted 2's writing?
How does typically having higher standards for writing than other genre's make it less well written?

 

[Havok83]

The writing of Uncharted 2 was on the level of actual movies; in fact better than many that do get released

I haven't actually played it yet, but I thought it was safe to assume as much
