The enjoyable back and forths between the Prince and Elika in the latest Prince of Persia game have netted writer Andrew Walsh some recognition. His pen work for last year’s reboot of the franchise beat out both Fable II’s Mark Hill and Routesgame.com’s Tom Edge, and has been deemed award-worthy by the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain who have given him the organization’s Games Award.

Walsh worked as the narrative director on Prince of Persia as well as its Epilogue downloadable content, and is currently working on two “confidential projects” for EA.
