Xbox 360s Best RPGs - My Opinion

This post i will delve into the RPGs (one of my favorite genres) and post what i think the best RPGs i've played on the Xbox 360.  Some of this may not be totally accurate - as my memory of some of these games is a little fuzzy.  i may have (or will) played more games than this

JRPG (Alphabetical):
* Blue Dragon - a turn based RPG
* Enchanted Arms:
* Eternal Sonata:
* Final Fantasy XIII
* Infinite Undiscovery:
* Last Remnant, The:
* Lost Odyssey
* Magna Carta 2:
* Resonance of Fate
* Star Ocean: The Last Hope
* Tales of Vesparia

WRPG (Alphabetical):
* Alpha Protocol (barely started)
* Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga (haven't beaten add-on)
* Dragon Age: Origins
* Dragon Age 2
* Fable 2:
* Fable 3:
* Fallout 3:
* Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
* Marvel's Ultimate Alliance
* Mass Effect:
* Mass Effect 2:
* Oblivion:
* Risen (Games on Demand - haven't beaten)
* Skyrim
* Two Worlds
* TwoWorlds 2 (haven't beat)
The JRPG division:
1) Lost Odyssey - a long turn-based game with annoying ring system that adds a real time element.  For the most part, you can ignore that.  The dreams are an interesting side story. 
2) Resonance of Fate: this game has sort of a weak, understated story about a group of hunters in a post-apocalyptic tower structure.  It is kind of a mixed turn-based combat strategy. 
3) Star Ocean: the Last Hope
4) Tales of Vesparia
5) Blue Dragon
6) Infinite Undiscovery
7) Magna Carta 2
8) Enchanted Arms
9) Last Remnant - decent combat, has some wrinkles with leveling i don't like, buggy with lots of loading
10) Final Fantays XIII
11) Eternal Sonata

WRPG Division
1) Mass Effect
2) Fable 3 
3) Fable 2
4) Mass Effect 2
5) Skyrim
6) Marvel's Ultimate Allaince
7) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
8) Dragon Age 2
9) Dragon Age: Origins
10) Oblivion
11) Fallout 3
12) Two Worlds 2 - still kind of buggy
13) Divinity 2: Dragon Knight Saga
14) Risen - another kind of buggy game, the camera is kind of a mess
15) Alpha Protocol - horrible start, once you get past the hacking part it picks up a lot. May leapfrog to #12 or 13 after i finish it.
16) Two Worlds - marred by technical issues (like slow frame rate and crashes)

Will play eventually:
Witcher 2
