I've polished off Tales of Symphonia (beat it twice), and I bought and beat God of War. That was a good game too, masterful control.
Now I'm playing Bard's Tale. This game is hard. If you don't pay attention, you could die at any moment, and it was damn near impossible for me to beat the first dungeon, and there was only one monster in it! But I after I figured out a strategy, it was all good. You can't just run through the game swinging your sword and expect everything to die, you have to play smart and use the different summons strategically. The game is really, really funny too. The voice work is grade A. There is lots of cliché bashing, and the Narrator is a total dick. The bard is too, mostly, so it makes for a very self involved, lecherous anti-hero; it is obvious from the beginning of the game he is after two things: booty and booty.
