And the Winner is..

Destiny
While many games have an online component, Destiny successfully melds competitive and cooperative play, shooter and MMO, giving us a social experience unlike any other. Gameplay that requires team play in the strikes and raids add to the experience. Both inside and outside of the Destiny universe, Bungie have crafted a product that is bringing players together to play and converse, and for that, it truly wins our best online experience.
