Top 10 RPGs of 2008 @ GamePro

GamePro throws out their Top 10 RPG list for 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.
More information.

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.
