Did someone hack the voting?

Andir, First I would like to say welcome and thanks for joining.

Now on Topic:

I respect your post. Also this is not a Sony thing, there is also a thread about Zelda PH jumping to the top when it wasn't even out yet. It's not that "a" Sony game has raised to the top that no a problem. It's the fact that in 5 minutes the ten completely change from Nintendo heavy to all Sony. The other thing was that most of these games in the top ten had ratings of 6.5-7.8 now they are all 8.4 or above (in just 5 minutes). Personally it's not a big deal to me, as you can see I tried to disregard the thread after I started it.

 Thanks.

 Yeah, I can understand if it's like that.  Personally, I haven't watched the game rankings all that close.  I sorta figured that the minimum post count barrier was hit.  (I think ioi said he placed a minimum vote count on the front page list.  I just figured that those games finally broke that barrier.)  If these have moved all that much though I still find it funny that everyone assumes it was hacked and not the ioi adjusting the algorithm and finally putting in some kind of min/max skimming.
