I would like to add a suggestion to the best movie category. I think it should include Pirates 3 because it was a great movie and I Am Legend and National Treasure 2 have not come out yet.
November 25, 2007 at 9:29 am
Pirates 3 was good, and I’ll think about adding it.
That and, I said NAtional Treasure 2 and I am Legend will be awesome anyway. For sure.

Technically, The Orange Box would be Best Shooter[s]. Five of them.
November 26, 2007 at 12:47 pm
It came in one package, so it is a compilation, a shooter compilation.

You should have put “GAME MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2008″ not “GAME MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2007″
oh and the pirates suck in comparison to spider-man….face it! it was ot a verry good pirate move. it was ok but….not specatcular
November 27, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Noted, however, Wii Sports was released in 06.
November 27, 2007 at 5:18 pm
Got to disagree with ya James. Actually the box office disagrees as well. Pirates were way better than that nerdy spider guy.

Thank you Dragon Master!
November 28, 2007 at 9:55 am
Well if you think Pirates of the Carribean 3 was better, then vote for it!!!
I personally think that Spiderman 3 and Pirates 3 were equally good.

Best Movie of 2007: PIRATES 3!
November 29, 2007 at 10:11 pm
Pirates 3 was adventurous and fun. Spiderman 3 was actiony, fun, and worth the wait. I like them both for different reasons. They’re both fine. I loved Pirates sense of adventure. It felt like a novel.
