Well, last night I picked Shadow of the Colossus back up again. Dang that's one awesome game. I beat it about 10 minutes ago after taking a little bit TOO long on the final boss because I wasn't actually killing him properly. No wonder it was so freakin' hard. Anyways, I just have to say the Shadow of the Colossus is probably the best game I've ever played. Maybe not the best game I've ever played but at least one of my favorites. I do still need to play Half Life 2 but as of now I've pretty much played every single old game that I'd need to play besides Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Okami and now that I love Team ICO so much, I might as well play their namesake.

The thing that makes Shadow of the Colossus so great is because it's just so incredibly epic. I've said "EPIC" about a billion times but really, you don't get more epic than riding on a horse next to a crashing stone-dragon trying to jump onto it's wing and then stab your sword into it's back. There is NOTHING more epic than that.

Graphically (artistically mostly) Shadow of the Colossus is still incredibly to look at, the Colossi especially. The Collosi are just so well thought out and beautiful. The lack of real textures doesn't really hurt, although, I would probably suffocate if I saw whatever Team ICO was working on now.

Speaking of which, it's been 3 years since Team ICO released a game and they haven't even announced one yet. Some people may say that they're worried but I'm just extremely excited. There was a 4 year difference between Shadow of the Colossus and ICO and I expect the time gap to be identical for their next game. I just wanna know what it's all about. The leap from ICO to Shadow was huge and a cross gen gap between Shadow and whatever the crap Team ICO's making could mean one of the greatest games in history.

But, what might this game be? I think that it'll be something like Animal Crossing but you're all alone in a wasteland with a hot girl AND your horse. Every once and a while Tom Nook comes around where you'll have to climb up his back and stick a sword through his brain.

I'm the next Will Wright aren't I?

Loved it as well. Who would have thought that a game based around nothing but boss battles between long stretches of traveling a land void of any other life could be so much fun.  Sounds terrible on paper, but it worked.

Indeed, SotC is one of the greatest games ever made.

One of the games you wish you could go back to without the knowledge of having played it, just so you can experience playing it for the first time again.

Despite the praise it got and gets, I still think it's underrated.

Yes it's an awesome game, that las boss... wow.

Yeah. I totally messed up on the last boss though. [spoiler]There was a way that you could stop him from thrashing around and then reel yourself in but I didn't know that, so I just tried to jump onto his head.[/spoiler]
It did work, though, but one time I totally messed up and died.....and had to start all over again after trying to kill him for about an hour.
