I disagree Felipe, with your assertion that a top % of games from any poll constitute a new classic. The polls are done regardless of the year it is, and so you will by design always get a top 5, 10, 25, games. To then say that because we did polls in x decade, the top 10 (or whatever number you want) games must be new classics, is wrong. Top games in polls do not a new classic make. The only metric you obtain is that the games were simply ranked highly in those polls. But it is all meaningless when the quality of the best games today is still worse than the best games of yesterday. They can not achieve a new classic status unless they manage to equal or exceed yesterdays games to hold their own. I'm not saying there wasn't a game of the past decade that did not achieve this (Grimoire did), but your polls do not measure this metric and attempting to just declare that because there was a top 49 or 50 games in the poll that they are now new classics is wrong. At the end of the day if I finish the new games and then go right back to playing the old games, the new games have failed to become new classics.
