Top 7 Must-Have RPGs Coming in 2010

From the feature PlanetXbox360.com top-list:

"Several publishers skipped out on the holidays of 2009 and have took to the skies to help make 2010 the year that every gamer dreams of. That's right, 2010 is turning out to be a year that will steal hundreds upon hundreds of hours from gamers. So it's time to invest our concentration on the role-playing games of 2010. The RPG genre on the Xbox 360 has surpassed what the original Xbox served up, so expectations continue to rise. Will 2010 turn out to be better than 2009? We can only cross our fingers with the line-up detailed below so don't get mad if this game or that game doesn't ship on the projected release date. Even so each and every one of the seven games below should be purchased if you are, in any form or fashion, into role-playing games."

Great list, for me it's all about Final Fantasy and Mass Effect - 2010 couldn't be a better year for role-playing games.....yay!

Between the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 it seems as though exclusive RPGs balance out - with PS3 having Final Fantasy XIII-Versus and White Night Chronicles; the 360 has Fable 3 and Mass Effect 2 - gonna be epic.....

JRPGs vs the WRPGs....

I'll take JRPGS anyday, BUT I am VERY VERY much looking forward to Mass Effect 2....Bioware is amazing!

[DigitalAnalog]

Don't forget White Knight Chronicles and Roronoa Atelier for the PS3

[Myst]

Definitely look forward to Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy XIII ( and XIV ), as well as White Knight Chronicles.

[fantasygamer]

Mass Effect 2 and FF13 i agree with but it needed White Knight Chronicles on it aswell.

[UltimaEnder]

Agreed, WKC looks amazing....at least for a Japanese RPG!

[SnuggleBandit]

its an xbox website why would they put a ps3 exclusive on the list

overall though (including ps3) you are right, and if there was a "top 7" list wkc would definitely be there

[Double Toasted]

Because they're "true" gamers, just like most of the folks at Dualshockers...

[Redempteur]

Fail list for me

But then again it's made by planet xbox..

Waiting for white knight , atelier rorona , ff13 , SO4 International , ar tonelico 3 .

Resonance of fate too but if it's coming it's LATE 2010 so i have time to get ready for it .

...if no one has experienced Mass Effect and all they have is a PS3, Alpha Protocol looks like its going to have very similair layer of game aspects minus the sci-fi theme. The dialouge wheel is something that I loved about Mass Effect, it made it easier to navigate the next conversation and I'm glad to see another game use it.

[foxtheory]

except for Fable 3. Fable 2 did NOT live up to the hype, but if Lionhead doesn't overhype it, I may rent it first.

But anyway, Mass Effect 2 and FF13 are day ones for me. And Alpha Protocol looks amazing, too.
