Pirates of the Caribbean Online won "Best Online Only" game of the year and was runner up to "Best Game of the year". I play Pirates of the Caribbean and must say I could not agree more! Congrats to Disney on a very good game!

Every magazine, online site, etc. gives away these awards.  That's why every single game seems to get one every year.  You can't walk down the aisles in game shops without seeing "Game of the Year" stickers on nearly every box.

I was in the beta but didn't much like it.  I have no idea what it's like now, though.

Considering that there are hundreds of magazines giving out these awards this one is pretty meaningless really.

 

Just wondering which magazine was this?

Why we're talking about Pirates, isn't Pirates of the Burning Sea meant to be quite decent?

Hyperion GIN is part of the G4 network. Guess thats the big difference. Most sites like here and others are not. So yes its credible.

I tried it but not for long; I found the combat to be incredibly boring both in ships (very slow) and when boarding (very clunky). And of course, everyone looked like Jack Sparrow.
