[Dhruin]

GamePro throws out their Top 10 RPG list for 2008 (http://www.gamepro.com/article/news/208499/the-top-10-rpgs-of-2008/). The Witcher EE, Mass Effect, Fable II and Fallout 3 get nods amidst JRPGs and MMOs taking the other spots. The list is ordered based on their review scores with Persona 4 for the PS2 taking top spot.

That's exactly how I would've rated those games, with King's Bounty making a strong honorable mention. And I'm happy to say I've played every one on the list except for Fable 2 and all are great games. I know this site doesn't devote much energy to console JRPGs, but Persona 4 really has been the most entertaining game I played all year. If you have a PS2 laying around, and are not completely adverse to J-Pop music and a more adventure-game approach, then I highly recommend giving it a try. It doesn't have all the teen angsty emo stuff that was in the previous Persona.

If only I could find someone to pay me for making top 10 lists related to this industry....

Never really been a huge fan of JRPGs (no, not even the old classics), so my list would be quite a bit different than the one at GamePro. In fact, I don't have a "top 10" for 2008 - it's more like a top 5, and every good/half-decent RPG of 2008 is on it.

I played Persona 3 and liked it a lot, didn't know Persona 4 was already available in english.

Came out right before Xmas. If you liked 3, you'll love 4. :)

Wow, played most of the games on the list and really have no problems at all with their top 10. Nice job.
