Dead Head Fred Wins Big!
For the first time in the history of the Writers Guild of America, an award was given out in the category of videogames. Now, we remarked at the time of the nominations that they seemed oddly skewed, but that was likely guild union rules or whatever limiting the potential nominees. At any rate, the winners have been announced, and 30 Rock walked off with the trophy! No surprise there! Oh, wait, you mean in the videogame category? Yeah, Dave Ellis and Adam Cogan won for the PSP adventure game Dead Head Fred.
"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."
I remember Tiny writing about the game ages ago when it was released, but I never got around to playing it. I'm just pleased to see videogames getting some recognition amongst mainstream organizations. One small step, after all...
