Same rules as before, this time for 2008.
Notes:
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel gets in on a technicality. While it was planned to be a multiplatform release, they completely botched the console release, meaning it was a PC exclusive for about half a year, thereby qualifying it for the list. Amusingly, though it gains this Pyrrhic Victory, the downside was that the delayed console release destroyed their company. You never hear the sad stories when execs claim a console release is crucial to a game's success do you...
Mount & Blade? Yeah, not sure myself, but it wants to be an RPG so bad it feels mean to be mean to it by excluding it.
Aveyond 2 marks the emergence of RPGmaker into the popular sphere. I'm not sure if I'm going to be listing all [any?] RPGmaker games in these polls [due to sheer numbers versus number that have likely played them] unless they're well known enough to warrant specific attention [I probably missed Aveyond 1 in that year's poll by lack of google results for it in the relevant places] but if I miss one in a future year's poll then feel free to highlight the ones you particularly liked and feel deserve the poll's attention.
Please also feel free to highlight any games I might have missed.
