Although SoM was good, I much preferred its Japan-only sequel, Seiken Densetsu 3, which improved on SoM in every way.
Vesperia is a fantastic game. It's my favorite 360 exclusive.
Along with all of the other recommendations (my personal favorite being Valkyria Chronicles) I'd also like to recommend Ni no Kuni if you ever get into the PS3.
Oh, Lord, Wallbridge. I spent a LONG time running back and forth through that area. It sucked. The rest of the game is incredibly awesome, though.
I'll second that.
I thought FFX-2 was a nice callback to the old FF job system myself, and I liked FFXIII-2. What I would like, though, is for Square to build a monster epic experience as they did with FFXII.
You call that a pile of shame?! That's a little stack of shame compared to what I've got going on! LOL!
Personally, though, I'm trying to stick with what I've got rather than buy more games.
Star Fox 64 was pretty awesome, I think it was actually second to FFVII as my favorite game of 1997
Well, to be honest, I never thought Goldeneye was as great as the enthusiasts did. It's a good game, but I liked Final Fantasy VII, its rival in the AAA holiday game battle of 1997, far better.
My favorite movie tie-in game is Goldeneye (N64). Of course, this game was good because Rare was actually trying to build a good game with the theme of the movie instead of just making another piece of merchandise to go along with the Burger King Kids' Meal toys. (There were no such things for Goldeneye, but you get the idea about how licensed games usually turn out.)
My least favorite is probably every other movie tie-in game I've seen.
