What is the popular games list based on? There are games with higher ratings and more views and favorites then some of the ones on the list.

Well, popular usually means hot games that people play every day.

There probably are games that have higher plays and fav's, but that was the past.

Could you please give an example?

you'll notice most of the games on the list are made by AG itself. Pretty self-explanatory to me.

A game's recent-ness, rating, play count and reception are what decide whether or not it gets put in there.

Could you please give an example?

Crush the Castle 1
The Last Stand 1
The Last Stand 2
Warfare 1917
Chaos Faction
Fancy Pants Adventure 2
Pillage the Village
Storm the House
Bubble Tanks 2
Gemcraft (original)
Mastermind World Conqueror

Sonny gets a spot for Sonny 2, if people want to play sonny there is an ingame link to 1. Also gemcraft, if you play the one up there, then you know about the gemcraft series. ( and crush the castle too - they don't need more than one spot)

The others though would be nice to see on a list of ex popular games or something.

The Popular Games are not necessarily the most popular games of all time, but the most current popular games. Which is why games like Exit Path and CtC Player Pack are up there, as opposed to Sonny and other older popular games. The popular games section is always being updated by Dan, to keep up with what is most popular at the time.

Could we therefore have a differnet section which are 'the most popular games of all time', so that people who are new can see the old ones they might have missed but we can also see the top current 5.

Colony was on there with a 8.9 rating. I think it's when there's a bunch of games that are being rated very high, but they're new....ish. :/ maybe it's just what people are playing the most at once...

They also replace old game versions with new ones (Like Sonny with Sonny 2, Gemcraft with Gemcraft 0).

I believe it was there because it was the most popular multiplayer, and because users wanted it added so more people play.

Actually, it's exactly what he must want, seeing as it is a list of all games...

There's no way to be sure he's even active anymore: He locked his comments. I guess lock this thread seeing as it's answered and if he ever looks here again (And opens his comments), give him a link to the thread.

Exactly. Just sort by the amount of plays or rating in each of the individual genres.
