I still think that the popularity of a game should have a direct impact on its ranking, for better or for worse. It's hard to imagine that a group of hardcore adventure gamers have somehow all overlooked the best game ever. It's probably more likely that it was overlooked because it looks like crap or never got decent enough reviews to make it onto our radars in the first place. If one crazy guy with horrible taste was desperately in love with a movie called Biker Zombie Chicks From Mars that was in such limited release that no one else actually saw it, should that rank higher than Citizen Kane and the Godfather because he's the only person to list it? Something doesn't quite add up.
And on the other end of things, if one person has played something that they felt was really horrible, shouldn't a game that several people felt was equally horrible place lower on the list since it is more universally considered to be rubbish?
Maybe we should compile several lists from the ones posted here. That way we could at least get a feel for how these things compare (I know, I know "well, why don't you do it, Mr. Flyboy??" - I'll come up with an excuse later).
