How does the system calculate what the top games are?  Can I get a formula?

The ones listed on the home page are decided by us (the admins).

The ones in the category page are determined by teh system -- basically, just the highest overal user rating.

No.  He forgot to say that the other section except for Top Rated are picked by March. (his friend)

So if its 8 based on one rating, its still a top game?

March, the admin that picks games, has seniority to pick his favorite games to be category featured. the top games category are picked do to the player rating.

Yes, Yes, Yes.  I've been told that, but I'm asking you if its also based on the amount of votes!

nope. no polls, votes, or anything. just plain ol march opinion. however, since he is only human you can bug him like a few people have and have your game featured if you are good at it lol.

Gr, .  You misunderstand me!  I'm talking about the top games, people say that it isn't picked by this March.  All I want to know is if its based on the amounts of votes as well as the actual score out of eight!

All ratings combined by number of ratings to the nearest number equals the score.  Is there a way that it could be a little more specific (life 4.8 instead of 5?)

The one listed on the Games page (i.e., the ones picked by the system) are picked require a minimum number of Plays and a minum number of Ratings. I don't know what that number is off hand, though.

But, no, a single "8" rating will not put it on that list.
