Need a little help on this one guys. I have a workmate who owns a PS2 and is looking for more games. He's rather picky, but it more of a weird way. He loves graphics and is a self-admitted graphics whore. He likes action games with some puzzle elements. And he really likes story. BUT, he hates the FPS perspective. He got Killzone and just didn't like it mostly 'cause of the perspective but also 'cause it's purely mission based (he prefers the story driving what you do and not just having a bunch of missions connected by some story elements). Forget things like RPGs or GTA, he's just not into them. He's a Sony man through and through, so other systems are out.
His favourite game of all time is Resident Evil 4. He was an enormous RE fan before and RE4 is like the perfect game to him. He likes the Silent Hills a lot and he loves God of War. He also liked Fatal Frame, but not quite as much as it was a bit more slow moving and he didn't like the use of the camera. He very much disliked Beyond Good and Evil and Shadow of the Colossus (to me, arguably the two best games on the PS2 besides Guitar Hero). Yet, he thought Ico was one of the best games he's played, which is why he got Colossus to begin with. Basically, he's a very picky casual gamer who likes survival horror and story driven games with nice graphics. And he's picky about the controls being good, as long as they're not FPSs :-)
I've been trying to figure out what to recommend but I just don't know. He's oddly picky and it makes it hard to recommend something. Any suggestions would be helpful.

I was there on that fateful day, were you?
