Although World of Warcraft held its stranglehold over the online role-playing genre this year, plenty of awesome single-player games kept the market interesting. The nifty Sonic Chronicles, the gripping Sacred 2, and the imaginative The World Ends With You all caught our eyes, but none of them quite made our top three list. It's been a great year for role-playing fans, and here's the evidence.
The Nominees Are...
Fable 2
Kick chickens. Marry as many people as you like. Murder entire villages. Peter Molyneux's latest attempt at making a world where you can do whatever you want turned out to be his best in years.
Fallout 3
Oblivion takes to the dark, post-apocalyptic future in this nuclear success. Did you blow up Megaton?
Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning
No, it didn't crumble the Warcraft cookie, but Warhammer Online proved a classy interpretation of a rich and exciting world, and provided some of the best player vs. player scraps we've seen in ages.
