Ratings are mostly best for debate. I find write ups far more useful and like seeing the top lists for individual members here but the overall top 100 list has to many flaws to be too helpful.

As each new game supplants MM for one week at a time, the backlash grows less and less. The fall you take after being No. 1 isn't as bad as it was this time last year so the games have a better chance of recovering.

Heck, Tron LE can't even catch the Tron Pro it got blasted by the haters so bad. Met LE/Prem won't fall as much as people think . . . out of the top 20 for sure but not out of the top 75 like Tron LE did.

Agreed. You gotta read the personal reviews of games and ignore the ratings entirely.

Also, what works best is to find pinsiders who have similar tastes in games to you and go off their ratings. I've figured out pretty well that if Eskabee or Centerflank like a game . . . I'm probably going to like that exact same game so their rankings mean more to me than a couple other pinsiders who seem to have totally different tastes from me.
