To me, TWD seems like one of the best pins of all time. I don't understand why it continues to slip in the rankings. It's also probably the modern game I see for sale the most on the 2nd hand market. You can't look at pins for sale anywhere without tripping over a TWD Premium or even an LE or two.

Just to make sure... you do know there are custom audio packages for TWD that add callouts from the show? It helps a lot. Though, I agree the original callouts suck, the music is kickass. No argument on MET, as that game is also in fierce contention for the top spot, imo.

I think there are even more people who get a new game and rate it a 9+ in just the first couple of weeks ("My other games have been collecting dust since getting XXXX!!") than there are haters doling out poor ratings for games they have no vested interest in. I get it. People want to share their excitement for their new purchase, but this nearly always results in a familiar rise and fall pattern for every new release.

That is a major issue too, no doubt. Especially with less common titles that not many get easy access to. Still, I view most of the 'hate rating' on new titles as more of a backlash against new owner ratings. As in, the new release gets bumped to the #1 spot and needs to be knocked down a peg. The new game doesn't start out with a bunch of BS negative ratings and then slowly get raised by the more thoughtful reviewers.
