The Top Games list goes strictly by rating and release date, which I think makes for a list that is not very useful to the average user. LittleBigPlanet got 9/10 and could very well be on that list, but some games that instead made it on are expansion packs, XBLA games and new ports for old games (Mass Effect). What we're ending up with is sort of a mish-mash of well rated stuff that doesn't necessarily point out which games people should try. Some people might want to click on Top Games and see all standalone games that aren't XBLA or a year-old game that was ported months ago, like LittleBigPlanet, Far Cry 2, Dead Space, Fable II, etc., and I think adding an option that allows people to view more recent, more relevant games would be a great addition to the site.
