    Quoted from ForceFlow:

    For the most part. However, when there is a recent new game release, that new game tends to shoot up on the list for a short time as fans of the game rate it high, then it settles back down to a spot where it usually stays as it gets some more realistic/balanced reviews.

    Personally, I rated it a bit on the low side. While I applaud the journey that game took in order for it to become a production game and think it is an amazing feat, I don't like playing the game itself very much. Tournament players seem to go wild over it, but since I'm more of a casual player, I don't really enjoy it.

    There are a lot of different reasons why game owners seem to churn through games. Some don't have much space, so they sometimes cycle through games quickly. Sometimes they just want the latest & greatest, sometimes they sell to fund new purchases...any number of reasons. But yes, some people do try to pump up a game before they sell it in order to try to prevent the resale price from sinking too much. How successful that really is, I have no idea. It really depends on the game, how quickly the games are being produced, and how much demand there is for it.

    Yes. Some of the classic games are still pretty fun. While a few tend to stay at the top of the list, keep in mind that not *all* classic games are high up on the list. Some are great, some are just good, some are simply ok. Some of the new games can be good too, but some can also just be mediocre.
    Personally, I don't limit myself to a particular era or manufacturer. I'll play anything. If I like it, I'll play it again. And if I still like it, I'll continue to play it. It's really just about having fun. So, the games that are fun and have more replay value that make you want to come back for more, are usually ranked higher on the list.

    It's a fun game, but not a very deep game, so it may get old after a while. Plus, it's one of the more expensive games available.

    It's up to you. It's usually good for getting a general idea about what games might be fun to play or own. But I wouldn't put much stock in a particular game owning a specific position on the list. They sometimes shift around for various reasons, so game position is not an absolute, nor set in stone.
    You really don't need to limit yourself to playing just the top 10 games on the list. Most of the games in the top 100 or so are fun to play. There are also some hidden gems below that too.
    If you're interested in a particular game, but don't have access to it, you can always look at gameplay videos to get an idea about it.

    pretty much sums it up......
