I voted for Immortal Throne. Despite being an action RPG, its simple story was presented very well and the world felt very much "alive", more so than most "real" RPGs of the moment.
Also, the game felt solid, meaning that there were almost no bugs and it played decently on my old system, which is a plus for the game's engine.
The addition of the Dream Mastery opened lots of new options and was an original approach.
IT (and TQ) is one of those hidden gems: on first sight, it looks a bit shallow and done-to-death, but if you play a bit, you see how well-thought-out and designed most things are.

All-in-all, TQ and IT should at least have gotten a high-eighties, low nineties score, when you realise that Oblivion and Bioshock got raving nineties.
