People seemed to manipulate the scores to keep the Big 4 at the top (MM,TZ,AFM, and MB) for a really long time in my opinion. Now it seems at least some of the newer better games are staying there longer but it seems to be more volatile than in years past. It was interesting to me SW popped up to number two. Probably the last game to go in my collection ,but, did not realize it had that many fans and it has been out for a while. For me the rankings are fun. I most likely like to read the reviews. On games I am thinking on buying, I look for certain Pinsiders take on a particular title. I find my opinion aligns with some versus others. As I read reviews if I see a score that seems to be a manipulation,one way or the other, I Flag it.
If someone believes a game is a ten and there no words explaining why, its out. Pretty much any DMD is rated a 1, I think is pretty bogus as well.
