That's OK if you don't agree with the list. Not many people would agree 100% with any list like that, but keep in mind, it's not made up of just one persons' opinions. It's compiled by the votes of many people. While there's no guarantee that any one person will agree with the whole thing, it's a good starting point to find out what most people think of any particular game. If all the votes for one game are outstanding, then, more than likely, but not positively, anyone referencing the list for opinions on a certain game is going to agree. At the very least, you can get a good idea of what most everyone else thinks of the game. No one's claiming that you should base your decision soley on the list, and I think that most people understand that too. >--------------------------------------------- >ProLine: ryanb@pro-charlotte >Internet: ryanb@pro-charlotte.cts.com >UUCP: crash!pro-charlotte!ryanb >ARPA: crash!pro-charlotte!ryanb@nosc.mil >--------------------------------------------- > Charlotte, North Carolina >--------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm <------------send files here pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com
