Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood is NOT an RPG in any way shape or form.

BOOYA!!

it isnt but it has some characteristics of them.

I question that strongly.

Final Fantasy Crisis Core: 8/10 - Everything of it is good, nothing is great though...Loading times are looooooong.

Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep: 6/10 - The combat is fun, but the camera kills me. Story and characters are weak and corny.

Fallout 3: 8.5/10 - The game is HUGE, the freedom in almost every situation is cool, the quests are interesting, but there are a lot of bugs and the (HUGE) world looks everywhere almost identical.

Demon's Souls: 4/10 - Most overrated game ever. Just because it's (unfairly) hard, doesn't mean it's good. Mediocre in all aspects, the balancing is just TERRIBLE.

Final Fantasy XIII: 8/10 - Eye candy, good story, good but sometimes childish characters. Combat is VERY fun, but as RPG very flat and linear.

Mass Effect 2: 9.5 - The fighting is amazing, great chars, very cool background story, main story could be better though, great conversations, very interesting quests, but as RPG it feels a bit flat, too.

This gen:

1. Demon's Souls-By far my favorite game this gen. I dont need to say more.

2.Persona 3/4:While they might be on the PS2, they still were released this gen.

2.Valkyria Chronicles-It has been awhile since Sega delivered a game I enjoyed this much.  

3. Folklore-I loved the artistic style of the game.  Both characters were great (tho a bit repetative) and I must admit, that ending just, I dont know, gets me.  Love the game.

4.Mass Effect-Completely epic start to finish.  From the story to the crew, to the main villian it was one hell of a ride.  I liked how they tried to include as many RPG elements as they could, though it all felt like an afterthought.  

5. Eternal Sonata-This caught me by suprise.  When I heard about the premise I was interested but extremely skeptical.  I did not think an RPG based on a musican would work (regardless of how legendary he is), but I am very glad I was wrong.

6. Final Fantasy XIII-Enjoyed it enough that it became the second game I have a plat trophy in (besides Demon's Souls).  While it might not rate as high as other FF games, I enjoyed every second of it and cannot wait till XIII-2 or FFvsXIII.

7.Atelier Rorona-Very cute game.  The characters were great, the story was silly and the entire experience felt very animelike, and I love Anime.  

7.Disgaea 3-While I might not have enjoyed the story as much as I did parts 1 and 2, the third installment definitely added enough gameplay features to give credit to the Disgaea franchise.

8. Mass Effect 2 - Not nearly as epic as the first.  They basically did away with all the RPG elements they could, tho that is not completely a bad thing.  While I might have enjoyed the gameplay more (it made more sense) the story was not even close to as amazing as the first.  Main Villain? Shepards place in his/her organization? Who you report too? Crew? None of them compare to the first.

9. Dragon Age: Origins-Loved the combat system, the characters and the main villains (the darkspawn were a great idea), but it is still the ugliest RPG I have played this gen.  At times the animation was completely laughable.

9.Lost Odyssey-I do not know why, but I did not enjoy this game nearly as much as most people did.  While I am very glad I played it and will definitely play it again in the future, I just cannot put it into words my problem with the game.

10. Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope Int.-Loved all of it but Emo-Edge.  That nearly ruined the game for me.  Right when you finish with Emo-Edge...you ge Emo...yea Ill leave it at that.

11.Oblivion-Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall is one of my favorite games on the PC.  For whatever reason, I could never get the feeling I had during Daggerfall while playing Oblivion.

12.Borderlands-Enjoyed the game for what it was, but the lack of a real story just got me.  I will say tho, this is the first "RPG" that I enjoyed coop since Secret of Mana.

13.Magna Carta 2-I beat it and did not find that a waste of time.  that cannot be that bad can it?

14. Trinity Universe/Last Rebellion/Cross Edge-Very animeish (this is a very good thing) but the game play made me cry a bit inside.

Ill leave the list there.  Long enough as it is.

My favorite RPG series = Suikoden.  If they release a real Suikoden game it will definitely make this list.

Demon's Souls: 9.5/10 VERY fun game, class/attributes could use some work.

Fallout 3: 8.5/10 Good fun, though the bugs and often sparse world hold it back.

FFXIII: 9/10 Enjoyed it immensely, but I don't want to go back again anytime soon.

Dragon Age Origins: 6/10 Somewhat bland combat, sub-par voice acting, far too much boring dialogue.  Oh, and the skills/abilities/specialization nonsence is absolutely atrocious.

Oblivion: 9/10 Sunk quite a few hours into this one.  Hurt by freezing and bugs.

Valkyria Chronicles: 9/10 Fantastic strategy game, beautiful music.  Kinda cheesy at times.  Class balance issues.

And some older stuff:

Tales of Symphonia: 8/10 Nice, but fits into that "almost great" category.

FF XII: 5/10 No need to elaborate, many topic have been filled with debate over this one.

FF10:9/10 The last turn-based FF had perhaps perfected the system.

Skies of Arcadia: 9.5/10 Slow combat is all that slows this epic experience down.

FF6:10/10  Nostalgia, rose-tinted glasses? Perhaps, but I still enjoy playing this game as much as I did when I was 10.  Classic.

Quest 64: 7/10 Very simple, yet surprisingly fun.

Golden Sun 1&2: 10/10 Epic adventure from start to finish.

how is it that long? i finished it in 20 hours. its short.

dragon age:origins 10/10 very good game am on my 3rd play through, will play it 6 times.

oblivion 9/10 only did the side quests, crappy story.

demon souls 7/10  good game, great ideas, but i coudnt pass the first level to experience the rest.

da:o got me into rpgs. since then their wasnt a good wrpg which came out on the ps3. i hate fall out and im not two worlds 2 looks average.

rpgs i will play this year: mass effect 2(still isnt in my country) dragon age 2, mass effect 3, skyrim, the witcher 2.

ahh bioware my favorite dev.

again the game took me 20 hours? how is it that long!!!

Oblivion (7.5/10) - Good but got boring after a while and A.I is terrible. An average RPG with some nice added features such as large amounts of loot and the feeling of adventuring in a large open spaced world.

Fallout 3 (5/10) - Hated it, I didn't find the world believable enough. It was cool to begin with when you escape the vault but as soon as I found out that there was a town a few metres away with a fully grown community I lost interest completely, oh and the fact that everything is so bland looking and the A.I is still as stupid as it was in Oblivion.

Fallout New Vegas (4/10) - Despised it, thought it was everything that I didn't like about Fallout 3 plus more. (Sorry folks!)

Tales of Vesperia (9/10) - Great story, fantastic character development and an active battle system that actually worked well and fluently. Tales of Vesperia is one of my all time favourite RPGs and always will be.

Mass Effect 2 (8/10) - Brilliant story and character development. The decision making never gets old and with the addition to make immediate decisions throughout a cut-scene was a great addition that the original didn't have.

Mass Effect (8.5/10) - Brilliant just like the sequel, I only prefered this one slightly more because of the unlimited ammo (Which was explained how in the codex but for some reason they went back to limited ammo on Mass Effect 2 which didn't make sense???), the Citadel had a better design in my opinion and I prefered the characters in the original Mass Effect.

Blue Dragon (7.5/10) - Very good but the characters did get a bit on my nerves. However I enjoyed the battle system and the overall story, a nice game to check out if any of you haven't.

Demons Souls (9.5/10) - Absolutely brilliant. I do not own this game or a PS3 but it has certainly made me want one. I played this at a friends house and have loved it ever since, the only problem I had with it is that the difficultly can be a bit demoralizing at times.

Dragon Age: Origins (3/10) - I'm sorry but I absolutely hated this game. It was so mediocre, nothing was innovative about it and nothing excited me when playing it. Sorry again if there are any fans.
