VG247: BioWare's just tweeted that E3 may be too long to wait for Mass Effect 2 details.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.

Expected.
Can't wait!!! HUGE GAME!!! Info can't come soon enough!
Great, I'm looking forward to something more than artwork, nice as it is. Hopefully the news doesnt come via twitter too, I perfer more than one line of text at a time.
only in 360...
I'm really looking forward to Mass Effect 2. The first one, despite its technical problems is one of my favorite games.
It will be interesting to see if this game makes its way to the PS3. In a way I don't think it should. The 360 needs at least a few decent exclusives. Now that most multiplatform games are dang near identical (I bought Chronicles of Riddick for the PS3 because I thought it looked and felt slightly better) I'm finding fewer reasons to use my 360. Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake could help.
