I think it's the only one that could compete with critics, but I don't think that that means it's a shoe in to be the best RPG of 2008. Many RPG fans don't tout Mass Effect as the best RPG of 2007, that honor goes to Persona 3. Could be just the circles I travel in (metaphorically....on the internet), but that's the general consensus I see. What this means is that any RPG, whether it's budget be huge or no, could be the best RPG of 2008. That goes for all consoles too, doesn't mean I'm writing off the 360 as getting the best RPG, I just don't think it's as easy a call as you're making it out to be.
