Some remarks on the scoring system

Due to the low number of votes, games are ranked by a weighted average system. This stops games with only one vote from going straight to the top.

Games with four or more votes get 100% of their votes counted, games with three votes get 80%, games with 2 votes get 60%, and games with only one vote get 40% of it.

How To Vote

OK, so the games you like best aren't at the top. Maybe they're not even in the chart at all. The answer is simple, vote for them. Pick up a voting template, fill it in and send it to me.
