Icewind Dale is an RPG from Interplay based on the Forgotten Realms universe of Dungeons and Dragons. It is similar to Baldur's Gate, but it is not a sequel or prequel. The game is played using the D&D Rules meaning that its not just hack and slash, there are rules to make fighting a bit more challenging. There are a wealth of monsters to kill and quite a bit of spells to cast.

Thought to always be Sony's stablemate, tri-Ace branches out and chooses the Xbox 360 as the platform for their first next-gen RPG. Though it falls a little short of their original goals, it's still one of the better RPGs in a platform starved of that unique style of Japanese roleplaying.
