Behold as GamePro counts down the 26 greatest role-playing games ever created. From Chrono Trigger to Fallout 3, these are the RPG games everyone should play!

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
the list should be 25
World of Warcraft is an MMOrpg if your going to include it then you have to consider Final Fantasy XI and maybe Everquest
also.. no Shadow of the Collosus?
who think FF7 is overrated are ex-Nintendo fanboys and frustrated zealots. You could put gold in front of their eyes and they would still tell you it's dirt.
It's time to face it: FF7 is and will always be the most important rpg of all time.
I am also happy to see Xenogears on that list. It should have been at least at number 2 and Vagrant Story should have been there too. I cannot understand why and how they prefered Grandia 1 to Grandia 3 and why Shadow Hearts is absent from that list.
I am a JRPG veteran and I will gladly argue with anyone who thinks FF7 is overrated. But you should at least come with a decent knowledge and experience before extolling the virtues of Kefka.
Seriously, half of these games barely qualify as having RPG elements at all, much less being full-fledged RPGs. Where's Baldur's Gate? Where's the rest of the Fallout series? Vampire: Bloodlines? And WoW=#1? Are you f***ing kidding me? How does a game where people talk about damage mitigation and "LF resto shammy ZA PUG!" in an RP server qualify as an RPG? And don't give me any of that s*** about how "the game is about role playing even if the players aren't". I hate to break it to you guys, but a "role" is not defined by what weapon you're carrying and taking a package from point A to point B doesn't count as "role playing" unless you're a f***ing UPS guy.
Boo this list! BOOOOOOO!
Those list are horrible. I have to say FFX beat FFXII.
Zelda is action puzzle game i dont see it as RPG layout.
Evidently, Gamepro made some kind of a Faustian deal in order to achieve popularity on the internet. Except instead of its soul, Mephistopheles just turns every single article that appears on the site into total garbage.
