Best RPGs So Far

I'm a big RPG fan (BTW i'm a fan of every genre) so i decided to give a small review of current best RPGs we have on the consoles. During the past 3 years alot of RPGs have been released but very few attained the status of one of the best, so i have chosen six RPGs as the current best. So lets start with our RPG ride. RPGs mentioned are in alphabetical order.



Demon's Souls:

Demon's Souls is an exclusive PS3 RPG. It tells a story of a kingdom called Boletaria which is infested with a soul devouring demon, called the Old One, and his minions. DS is one of the toughest and hardest RPG you will ever play. Death is easy and repetitive. Building the stats is slow but progressive. Stats are improved with the souls of demons you slice. One thing which is unique to DS is co-op play where you can be joined by others to fight along with you. Players can also leave notes, at locations where you want them, for others players and help them. Your notes can be rated by other players. DS have a unique gameplay and is a tough but rewarding game.



Dragon Age: Origins:

Dragon Age: Origins tells the story of a land called Ferelden which is invaded by demonic creatures called the Darkspawn. One can be a Dwarf to start the story or a Mage, or a Human. At one single time there can be four different characters in your party and you can control all of them during the battle. DAO have the best story and voice acting. Battles are swift but thrilling. An excellent RPG.



Eternal Sonata:

Eternal Sonata was released one year later on PS3 after the release on X360. Eternal Sonata is about a composer called Frederic Chopin and his six friends. They fight against an evil ruler called Count Waltz. Graphics are marvelous and music is the strength of this game. Battles are timed so you have to attack or cast spell within a specific time bar for that character. Battles are fast and thrilling. An exceptional RPG.



The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion:

ESO takes place in the fantasy land of Tamriel. Its a world which is full of immersive gameplay and quests. You start off by choosing one of the typical fighters like soldiers, thief, in any RPG and then select the gender and race. First person view is the default view. Music is also the best part in this RPG. Graphics are excellent and breathtaking.



Fallout 3:

Fallout3 story takes place in Washington DC in the year 2277 after a nuclear breakout. People are living in a construction to protect themselves called Vaults. Main character is living in Vault 101 with his father but then his father left to explore the world outside the Vault. Main character follow him to the world outside the Vault. First person and Third person views are available. Gameplay is easy to pick up and graphics are excellent considering the wasteland.



Valkyria Chronicles:

VC's story takes place in Gallia, which is a centre-point for the battle between East European Imperial Alliance and The Atlantic Federation. Main character is Welkin who fight for Gallia along with his squad, the Squad-7. Graphics are exceptional. Its like water color painting in motion. Sound track is the best. Gameplay is unque to VC as it combines gameplay of turn-based RPG with Third-person Shooter. An RPG so beatifully crafted. Indeed one of the best.
