Both Assassin's Creed 3 and its PlayStation Vita spin-off, Liberation, were honored with nods from the WGA. Liberation wasn't the only Vita game nominated for the award — Uncharted: Golden Abyss was also selected. Rounding out the list of six are Halo 4 and Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Here's the full list of games, along with their publishers and credited writers:

History often seems lightyears away, doesn't it? Even game franchises like Civilization-where you zip from ancient Rome to space flight in the span of hours-put a layer of abstraction over the experience that make it feel distant. The Assassin's Creed games use history exceedingly well, but none of them have felt as personal as Assassin's Creed III: Liberation does. As a black man and parent of a bi-racial daughter, this game hits home for me. But what really surprised me is how this portable Assassin's Creed game comments on racial dynamics in a specific moment in time. You can feel history moving through the game.
Liberation proves that game design inspiration can be found in the ugliest moments of history. But American history doesn't just inspire the mechanics and rules of Liberation's gameplay. The game's story and characters feel more alive thanks to a smart infusion of tropes drawn from the history of black people in the United States. I'm going to point out few examples, some of which contain spoilers. If you want a fresh experience with Liberation's plot, stop reading now.
weber_dubois22The Assassin’s Creed franchise has become one of the most successful this generation: after a humble start, the game has become of the most appreciated and sold. The latest entries of the series, Assassin’s Creed 3 and Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation have been only released last month and they’re already considered as the best of the franchise. If you are still holding off, you may be happy to know that Ubisoft has teamed up with Sony to create a special offer on the North American Playstation Store.
Until the end of the weekend, players can buy both Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed 3: Liberation with a nicely discounted price, with 35% off the full price. The Gold edition of Assassin’s Creed 3, containing the full game and the season pass, which will allow you to download any present and upcoming DLC for free, is also discounted with a 35% off.
