"Borderlands 2 has been named as Raptr&amp;#039;s most played new game of 2012. The social gaming site Raptr tracks the number of hours its users spend playing each game, and has named Borderlands 2 the 2012 release that players spent the most time on.   Black Ops 2 actually earned the highest number of total hours played on Raptr for a new game, but the average playtime per user for Borderlands 2 was nearly 50% higher than for the latest Call of Duty game. Borderlands 2 also won the award for &amp;#039;Most-Played Long Awaited Sequel&amp;#039; and the &amp;#039;No Bathroom Break&amp;#039; award for longest average play session without stopping.  For the latter award, both Borderlands 2 and Mass Effect 3 broke the previous record with average play sessions over four hours, though Borderlands 2 was slightly higher.
