Quoted from PeterG:

I only think it is strange the LV got the beating suddenly they all rated the LV and not the SV, which is now rated higher than the LV. That alone says these ratings are bogus. The LV attacked the number one spot for their beloved Godzilla. Elwin fanboys did what they had to do and buried the only contestor with low ratings. Basically ensuring this will never be an issue in the future. I am not saying Alien should be number one but honest ratings are preffered!
This already took to much time of me, I am now going to enjoy my machines and never look at this top 100 again since this clearly showed how wrong this system is. And maybe tells me a lot of a certain group of people on pinside.

I'm not going to argue that Alien isn't cool. My son and I had a blast playing it, but its not #1, and people who rated it 10 are as equally ridiculous as those killing it. We have never seen and probably won't ever see a perfect pinball game. Ratings are entertainment only... BUT there are some good reviews for all games that I find insightful as well as entertaining.

Quoted from Aurich:

Maybe it's not #1 for you, but for someone some game is #1, if they care about such things. I admit, I don't, but others clearly do.
I dunno who you or I or anyone else is to decide for them. Could be Alien. Could be the game their parents owned when they were a kid and they don't care if you don't like Flash.
And if you say "don't rate things a 10!" then ... what? 9 is the new 10? What's the max allowed? If you say no rating should be above 9 then it's just the same as a 10.

Maybe u misunderstood me. I agree that everyone has a favorite pin, I was just saying that although someone feels that Alien or Godzilla are both 10s.. well.. are they? Neither is perfect. Which proves that the ratings system is biased and BS. The only redeeming thing about it is that after enough ratings are giving, a pin will settle in about where it should be "according to the masses" on pinside.
