"Honestly, there have not been a lot of good RPG’s coming from Japanese developers. In the other hand, western guys have been releasing a bunch of good stuff for all consoles. Here are the 5 best RPG’s for this generation so far:"
#5 Valkyria Chronicles — SEGA — PS3
“The vast-majority rest of the time, Valkyria Chronicles offers a unique take on RPG-strategy, a truly involving story, endearing characters, and a chance to reflect upon—or wonderfully, hopelessly anachronize— whatever sense of real-world history you may still have in your head.”
#4 Fable 2 — Microsoft — Xbox 360
“Molyneux invites us to the fantasy world of Albion. It’s a beautiful story where we have all the freedom to live our live as we want. Good or evil? Hero or villain? Family head or silent assassins? It’s all up to us. Excellent presentation, good graphics, great combat system and many surprises in one of the best RPG’s to date”
#3 The World Ends With You — Square-Enix — Nintendo DS
“The World Ends With You is an amazing marriage of style and gameplay. The dual screen combat further stretches what the DS can achieve in gaming that is far from a lame gimmick.”
#2 Mass Effect — Microsoft — Xbox 360 / PC
“An incredible effort from any perspective, Mass Effect sets the new standard for story-driven games, and has unquestionably surpassed all others to become the preeminent science fiction franchise today.”
#1 Fallout 3 — Bethesda Softworks — Xbox 360 / PC / PS3
“Although Fallout 3 is fundamentally a role-playing game, its success lies in the way it balances — and sometimes betters — the approaches of other videogame masterpieces: the retro immersion of “BioShock,” the paranoia of “Portal,” the exploration of “Oblivion” and the seamless storytelling of “Half-Life 2.”
"Other good RPG’s that almost made it to this list:"
Dragon Quest V (NDS)
Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360)
Lost Odyssey (Xbox 360)
Elder Scrols IV: Oblivion (Xbox 360, PC, PS3)
