[General Discussion] The Gamingforce Game of the Year 2009: Use Your Vote Time

Bionic Commando- 40 points
Had a hard ass time creating this list as this was pretty much the one game I can remember loving from 2009. The only things I can hold against BC is the lack of more awesome boss fights and a ton of screen tearing. Everything else is gravy.

Batman: Arkham Asylum - 20 ponts
BATMAN UNDER PRESSURE: THE GAME. I can't even begin to express how much I think the combat in this game is the most visceral and rewarding combat system I've had the pleasure to enjoy in an adventure/action game. I feel like Bats through out the entire thing. The gadgets are awesome, the voice acting is great, the atmosphere rocks and setting makes me feel like a rich playboy who wears masks and kicks ass.

Dragon Age: Origins - 30 points
My favorite fantasy rpg in recent memory not named "The Witcher." It doesn't do dark fantasy quite as well as that other game but man is what here amazing. Great characters. Majority of my 76 hours was probably spent sitting in camp talking to just a handful of them! I never messed with Shale, Zevran or Sten too much as much as I wanted to (saving them for another run). I restarted pretty much as soon as I finished, just couldn't wait to talk more about it. Great quests and side quests, amazing voice acting, just awesome. Man, I could listen to Leilana talk ALL GOD DAMN DAY.

Prototype - 10 Points
I might have been one of the few people looking forward to this enough to have pre-ordered it. I loved the actual game so much I made a couple youtube videos for it via fraps. The feeling you get, from divebombing into a crowded NYC street and killing hundreds of people, blowing up cars and body surfing dudes is unmatched by any other game. I fucking love my murder simulator.

Honorable Mentions:
Brutal Legend, 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand, Fight Night Round 4, UFC 2009, L4D2, Shattered Horizon, Assassin's Creed II, Ghostbusters, Killing Floor, Dawn of War II, Forza 3, Modern Warfare 2, Halo 3: ODST

Jam it back in, in the dark.

"Woaaaah! IS that a long health bar or are you just happy to see me?"
"Spencer! There's no way out, you'll just have to fuck it!"
"...umm"

Bionic Commando is fucking great. Looking back on it, I REALLY REALLY enjoyed it. Also, fuck the haters, the ending was BADASS. Spencer ain't taking no shit. It also has the best score of 2009, right up there with ODST and the score for Neotokyo. Glad I gave it 40 points.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
