Fallout 3 is much less of an "elaborate FPS with RPG elements" than Mass Effect.  I'm pretty sure Fallout 3 will have an optional turn based-type combat system, my understanding is the player can choose how to play it.

But I'm confused, because Fallout 3 and Mass Effect both much more RPG and much less shooter than RE5, are they not?

Fable 2 is an RPG... and an AAA game... and it may be the GOTY. You sure you want to pass it up?

Not sure at all - but the first Fable didn't excite me that much. Will see when it comes around.

I wasn't a huge fan of the old RE titles, but I love RE4 to death. Its hard to explain, even when it is a solid shooter. I love the combination of action, exploration, collection, theme (zombies/demons), story ... and shooting.

I may well love Fallout 3, wouldn't surprise me - its the sort of genre I usually love.

From the sounds of it, Lost Odyssey is my pick of those three. If there is one thing I HATE, its a RPG (of any sort) that is too easy. It loses the entire tactical element of the game, and reverts to a boring churn-fest.

I started off loving FFTA2 (DS) - playing it on hard. It was a real challenge, but in the end I think it was just a balancing mistake. Once I got past "the hard bit", the game become incredibly easy and now (20 hours later) has become really, really boring.
