None of those three are really top 10 worthy. (I presume you mean "Shadows over Camelot"?) I've played all three (I own both Arkham Horror and Pandemic), and of the three only Arkham Horror deserves a high place IMO. Pandemic is very clever, but I really don't think it has extended replay value. It also tends very much towards just being a solo game - one person can make all the decisions, really.

Shadows over Camelot is fun, but there are a lot of better games. (I've a feeling that I'm going to enjoy BSG a lot more than SoC).

For a game to rank highly on BGG, it's got to appeal to a *lot* of people. Agricola fully deserves its #1 spot - despite being a Eurogame, it has a giood amount of theme to it.

Cheers!
