UK developed Brink, Arkham City among WGA Awards nominees

The Writers Guild of America has selected a blockbuster lineup of games for its annual awards.

In a line-up usually dominated by US contributions, three games stand out. Brink ambitiously tackled the difficult task of presenting a balanced narrative in a game about oppositional forces, and was penned by the lovely Ed Stern of the UK's own Splash Damage.

Another UK-grown favourite, Batman: Arkham City, scored a nomination for its fan-pleasing exploration of the DC Comics canon.

Assassin's Creed: Revelations is another non-US entrant, developed by Ubisoft Montreal and closing the stories of two beloved protagonists ahead of Assassin's Creed III.

This year's WGA Awards take place on February 19 in Los Angeles. A full list of nominations and credits for the gaming category follows.
