WGA nominates Dead Head Fred for Video Game Writing Award |
Ó
It's not everyday that video game writers receive nominations from the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) for their hard work, which is why the esteemed pair of David Ellis and Adam Cogan are pioneers, in a manner of speaking. Apparently, their work on D3Publisher of America's (D3PA) and Vicious Cycle Software's Dead Head Fred speaks for them.And if that weren't enough, the head honchos at both D3PA and Vicious Cycle Software also congratulated the pair. D3PA vice president of product and development Peter Andrew said:
It was the game's unique story and resulting gameplay mechanic, distinctive characters and twisted and sarcastic humor that first convinced us that we wanted to bring this title to gamers, and we appreciate the WGA for recognizing it with a nomination for their very first Videogame Writing Awards.
Meanwhile, Vicious Cycle Software president and CEO Eric Peterson echoed Andrew's sentiments:
Dead Head Fred was a lot of fun for the entire team to work on, and much of that was because of Dave's and Adam's creative script. The entire team is dedicated to continue the tradition of developing games that combine great gameplay with storytelling and humor that is on par with the best television and movies out there.
It's interesting to note that Dead Head Fred has received the nomination in spite of its M rating. If anything, it's an indication that a game with mature content such as this one can still be a work of art in the eyes of those who appreciate it.

This is a game that's exclusive to the PSP, is fun to play, has good original music and good voice acting, yet it barely sold because no one bought it. This is a must own title if you use your PSP for games!
The plot was okay. The quests were repetitive. The sc ript was reasonable--altho it looked like the developrers just threw a few swear words here and there to spioce it up. Basically, its a long, boring, worthless title
At least the WGA nomination may influence potential buyers to take a second look at it. :)
altho I would say RENT it first...I personally couldnt even make it thru the whole game. But the idea is so good...it could've been so much more.
