What about all the older games that are missing because they don't have enough reviews or none at all?
Just recently, a BioWare employee was caught skewing the numbers for Dragon Age II by submitting his own review.
This is a list of well-received adventure games, nothing more. It doesn't accurately represent the "top" or "best of" anything.

Also it can be said that using sources such as Game Informer and PC Gamer scew their scores because they were paid by the developers. God forbid someone never heard of Adventure Gamer. Doesn't mean they aren't credible.
