The Writers Guild of America has revealed the five nominations that it believes represent the cream of 2009's crop and, just as is the case every year, the choices are a little...strange.
Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves are Assassin's Creed 2 sit as the most obvious and, perhaps, deserved nominees - but the list is spoiled by two more dubious inclusions. Check the list below.
The nominees are certainly better than they were last year, where The Force Unleashed walked away with the prize after trouncing Fallout 3, Red Alert 3 and Tomb Raider: Underworld.
The WGA has often been criticised for how it selects winners, with only members of the guild being elegible for nomination.
