Going really retro, my favorite 16 bit rpgs were shadowrun on genesis, and snes.
The genesis one was maybe the first cool open world city game, sort of real time combat with a neat cyberpunk story (also real close to source material)
The snes one was an adventure more set in that world.
I always thought they were unique givin the setting and use of guns, and more gritty dialogue etc.
When MS announced a new one, i was jazzed, till i played it . . . lame-o shooter.
If they made a real rpg on it . . . it'd be like lord of the rings meets blade runner, and be very cool.
Only game that reminded me of it was maybe deus ex.
