Quoted from Kabball:

I see that the LV version takes over number 1 spot on the pinside 100. I thought well that is enough to tip the scales and I put the deposit down on the LV. Then like a few days later I see it has dropped down to #50?
So what happened here did mods remove a bunch of reviews because it was being boosted?

Summarizing all the comments:

1) Alien LV owners rated the game honestly (or as honestly as anything involving the rating system). Ratings accumulated slowly, because the machines are rolling out slowly, and only some people rate games.

2) Eventually it got 30 ratings, the minimum required to appear on the Top 100 list, and debuted at #1 last week.

3) Fans of other games got angry that Alien was #1, and suddenly remembered that they felt Alien was the worst game they had ever played (even if they never played it), and it was important to them to express that in a rating.

4) Alien dropped in the ratings the following week, so the fans of other games are happy again.
