Following up on word that the game was nominated for an award, Vicious Cycle Software announced that Dead Head Fred has won the Writers Guild of America’s inaugural Videogame Writing Award. The 2008 Writers Guild Awards recognizes excellence in writing for screen, television, documentary, radio, promotion and for the first time, videogames.
“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.”
WGA’s inaugural Videogame Writing Award aims to spotlight quality work by videogame writers, hoping to raise their profiles and validate their contributions to the entertainment industry. Dead Head Fred, a PSP-exclusive game, was written by Dave Ellis and Adam Cogan who painted a 1940s inspired world where the player is thrown into the role of a private investigator without a head.
