Video games are still a relatively young and immature entertainment medium, and sadly it is the female characters of that medium that suffer the most for it. More often than not females are portrayed as either helpless victims, or gun toting vixens in clothing that would be more fitting for burlesque than combat.

As the year draws to a close, we wanted to take some time to give praise to the game we feel is the Best of 2009, and a node to the games that followed after. The decision was a tough one but we feel our choice is solid. In a year that brought us new records, new achievements, and hours of fun, we feel one game stands above the rest. Here is our pick for The Best Game of 2009.
