I think there's a tendency, not just in games, to have current titles
show up in the "top" lists that are based on fan votes or popularity.
Partly it's because those are still fresh in people's minds, but
also because there are a lot of people who firmly believe that newer
is better.

Gene Siskel was on the radio today regarding his book about great
movies, and one of his judgements about what makes a movie great is
whether you would feel bad if you could never see a certain movie ever
again.  The same could be true for computer games.  I wouldn't shed
a tear if I never played KOTOR again, but I'd be disappointed if I
could never manage to get Grim Fandango or Planescape to work in the
future.
