Post your nominations here for the New MP Game of the Year award 2009. This new award is being trialled to see if there are enough potential candidates for an award. It should be awarded to the multiplayer game released this year which has held the most interest for 5punkers.
Polls will be added to reflect nominations in the new year.

I go with Borderlands. There's not been a great amount of MP games out this year, and despite being a little bit of a damp squib, Borderlands has pioneered the jump-in multiplayer co-op that I think is going to be a lot bigger in coming years. It's also pretty stylish, and damn good fun with a pal.
I'm going for bumout paradise as well, what looked like a pretty plain arcade racer at first turned out to be buckets o' fun, and the webcam feature made it even better.
Tempted to agree with Berk, but it's had a fairly minority following. From a 5punk perspective the most successful multiplayer game this year by far has been WoW, so I'm going to nominate that.
Oh sorry, I mistook the multiplayer part of massively multiplayer for actual multiplayer, rather than multiple players playing single player games on multiple servers....erm... what?
I thnk it's a bit of both. There haven't been many decent games released, but if there wasn't a large Warcraft following this year we'd have probably picked up a few shit ones and found something we liked. However, you could argue the same about COD4 a couple of years ago, or BEEF before that.
