The message from Electronic Arts that I published last week certainly had
it's effect on the number of voters. This weeks list is now based on 171
voters, which is a new record. Of course, the new college season could
also be the reason for the rising number of voters in the last couple of
weeks.
After many weeks of almost no action in the charts, a substantial amount
of hot new games have been released last week. You can find them among
the new entries in the Tip 20. This week is probably the start of many
new battles to take place in the Top 100. Keep watching.
