Well, I woulda voted Infinite Undiscovery (Minority, since I like Tri-ace games), but among this list...

Fallout 3 gets my vote.

Chrono Trigger, mainly because of the nostalgia factor. Fallout 3 will probably win this.

Fallout 3 is simply, Amazing. It's a FPS fused with an intriguing and changeable story to your liking.

Its going to be closer than I expected, I know Fallout 3 is winning (which I assumed was going to be the case) but I did not expect Chrono Trigger to be out doing Final Fantasy IV.

Fallout 3 has exceeded my expectations, while Fable II did the opposite, so the choice is clear.

I HAVE to go with Fallout 3. I'm a fan of Bethesda Studios to begin with and I loved Oblivion, so I knew going into this that it was going to be so similar to Oblivion I knew I'd like it and for me its not a complaint. Everything to me seems so much more refined. I was done with Fable II in a week, good enough as it is just can't live up to fallout 3 to me.

Again Fallout 3 is going to own this thread, but my vote goes to Chrono TRigger, which, in my mind, regardless of graphics, is the single finest RPG ever released on any console, ever. SO there. If it was not in this list my vote would have been for FFIV which is also awesome.

I didn't think chrono trigger would do that good though.
