Microsoft just launched a new marketing campaign whose main aim is to get you trained so that when someone mentions the letters RPG your instant response will be Xbox 360. The Best RPGs Are On Xbox 360 is the campaign's name and highlights some of the best of the best RPGs that grace the Xbox 360 including Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Oblivion and of course Fable 2. Simply head to Xbox.com to get the dish on these super RPGs and if your interest is piqued, make your way to Gamestop. There you will find a free retail disc that comes packed with information on these "Best RPGs" as well as never before seen videos of Fable 2 and the complete Sci-Fi channel "Sci vs Fi" episode featuring Mass Effect. Now how can you not agree? The Xbox 360 is hands down the best place to find RPGs ... just none that are on the Playstation platform.

Nothing was made smaller for 360.The ps3 is whats caused the game to take so long to release.Its called compression and gta has over 100 hours of gameplay and more on 360 due to EXCLUSIVE CONTENT.
360 has the complete version of gta4 while the ps3 has the latter.The only reason ps3 is selling is for bluray movie playback.Nobody is buying software.Dont believe me go to vgchartz and have a look.
Plus the 360 has had supply constraints currently.Just wait till gta4 launches you gonna see fire.

I have to admit, I was very close to saying 'forget it, I'm not buying a 360, its just not my console'.
But seeing that Microsoft is actually making some efforts to putting RPGs on the 360 actually changes my mind. Its not JUST RPGs I'm interested in, but I have no interest in any first person shooters. In fact, the only FPS I'll probably get is Portal and mostly JUST because of the hype.
Now, the reasons why I don't play many first person games, and probably something that game companies really don't think about, is that the First Person perspective causes me to have very real motion sickness that detracts from my enjoyment of the game. I need a character to act as a focal point for me to follow. Feeling like I'm 'in' the game is not a good thing for me.
Its sad too because there are nice non-Shooter First Person games I would love to try but I know would just be no fun. I wish the developers would just slip in a 'switch to third' button that lets you choose which person point of view you can play in.
Anyways, looking forward to finding some good games for my 360 when I get it. I don't like a lot of gore either, but if I want xbox live games I may have to find a away to wire up the box to my modem since I don't have wifi.
Nuff chatter. I think Loss Odyssey is my dream come true and looking forward to playing it, although, I wonder, is it linear, or can you choose paths? I'll have to look into it some more. ;)

Yeah, the XBOX has all the great RPGs.... Actually, it pretty much HAS all of the RPGs of this generation. But, then again, 360s are pieces of crap that die out like crazy. There's no way I'm buying a 360 if it's just gonna crap out after I've sunk 40 hours into a game only to be told by some XBOX Live drone that he can't do anything about the little mishap that happened during the transfer of my gamertag to a new console and that I was just out of luck with all of my saved games and downloaded/paid for content which don't work any more because of some DRM bullcrap!
No freakin' way. And I really love RPGs, too, so this is totally bumming me out.

I don't see how anyone can argue that ME or Oblivion aren't RPGs. Yes, they aren't stereotypical RPGs, with a turn based formula. But they ARE RPGs to the truest defintion.
RPG stands for role playing game. Don't get caught up in stereotypes. Both ME and Oblivion are role playing games. You can call them action RPGs, but ultimately they are still RPGs.

Do you not play a role in almost every game now and upgrade tour character?
So Ratchet And Clank Future and Devil May Cry 4 are RPGs?
