OK, so what is a "feminist game"?

I'm no expert, but feminism has many branches and I'm pretty sure some of them would consider Portal to be, if not a overtly feminist game, at least a "feminist-friendly" one. Portal 1 is probably one of the few games that would pass the Bechdel test (maybe not since Chell is silent, but I'd argue the test probably needs to be adapted a little in order to make sense for videogames)

They have a test for that... what the fuck. What purpose would this test prove useful for, to lock yourself out of potential IP's you may like or to lock yourself in. Modern feminism must be a cult, the women who fought for women's rights would be ashamed. 

The test is more of a way of showcasing how women are portrayed in media, if at all. It points out how much women are usually portrayed in relation to a man, instead of as independent individuals. To pass the test, the work only needs to show two or more women characters interacting with each other without mentioning men for like 5 minutes or something. You'd think there would be a lot of media that passes the test, but the actual numbers are surprisingly small.
