My Top 10 RPGs of the year: 1. Persona 3 (PS2) + Great art and style. + Very refreshing setting and story compared to other JRPGs. + Great combat system and lots of personae to collect. - Combat environments lack variety. - Characters look too different between art, gameplay and (especially cutscenes). 2. Mass Effect (360) + Very good story, writing, dialogue and voice acting. + One of the best looking games out there. + Amazing amount of detail. Good character customization (both physically and story-wise) - Combat system is very shooter-like (the reason why it's not number 1) - Loads of small glitches and problems. 3. Jeanne D'Arc (PSP) + Very good strategy RPG combat. + Beautiful game. - Crappy story and lame characters. - Most characters end up too similar in combat and abilities. 4. Shivering Isles (360/PC/PS3) + Much more interesting main storyline and better environments than Oblivion. + Interesting ideas and a comical world. - Same combat problems as Oblivion, same voices returning. ...
