Gee thanks.

From the Adventure Gamers' FAQ:

How does the Hype-o-Meter work?

The Hype-o-Meter on our home page shows a ranking of ten upcoming games that people are excited about. As the name implies, it is far from any sort of scientific measure. The rankings are determined based on a combination of forum polls, reader feedback and the assessment of the Adventure Gamers team of preview material and press demos. The Hype-o-Meter is never a measure of quality, it is a measure of the buzz on upcoming games.
A Vampyre Story was recently added to the Hype-o-Meter because the developer finally secured publisher backing after a long period of uncertainty for the game. So, yeah, people are excited about it.
