The votes are in, and a hush falls over the crowd as we open our crisp white envelopes that announce the
winners of the Best Files of 2009...
|
BETA OF THE YEAR
Battlefield Bad Company 2
A close race between Bad Company 2 and Aion, but in the end Battlefield gunned down the MMORPG and took the medal
to reign supreme as Best Beta of 2009!
|
|
Runner Up: Aion: The Tower of Eternity
|
|
DEMO OF THE YEAR
Batman: Arkham Asylum Demo
Swooping in from a skylight the winged crusader took flight and bested the other demos on the list by a large margin. Not
that F.E.A.R. 2 did badly, but 40% - that's impressive.

MOD OF THE YEAR
Left 4 Dead – Dead Before Dawn Campaign
One truly epic undertaking of zombie craftsmanship, this Left 4Dead mod offers a paid game experience for our favorite
dollar amount. Zip, zilch and nada.

Runner Up: Fallout 3 – Cube Experimental Mod

FILEBLOG OF THE YEAR
Fallout 3 Mod Pack v3.0
Another new category was our top FileBlog contenders. Unsurprisingly the Fallout 3 Mod Pack took an early lead and
kept it. Ravenous Fallout fans, expect to see more in the future.

ODDEST FILE OF THE YEAR
Left 4 Dead - Zoey Ravaged Nude Skin
What a weird selection of files, but the weirdest of the weird was picked as the Ravaged Zoey skin took 1st place.
What a ravaged Zoey implies we won't even guess, but HR would be upset.
