    Ah, Nostalgia

    Review/Rant: I feel a great sense of nostalgia whenever I think about this game. Few other game immersed me completely in their world as this game did. This an incredible feat considering that the main character only says one word over and over throughout the whole game (Agro). Other characters have very limited dialogue. The gameplay comprises of a series of boss fights, say HUUUGE boss fights, with a few platforming segments and horseback riding through vast environments to get to those boss fights and platforming segments.  This is it really. It might not sound so good on paper but the ICO Team managed to make one of the best games ever created with this simple idea.

    Closing Comment: If you haven't played this game and you think you know what an epic boss fight is, think again.

    This game in one word: Epic

Adored by critics yet ignored by buyers, ICO was an artistic adventure that will be long remembered by anyon...

      After releasing one of the greatest early Playstation 2 games, ICO, Team ICO, has released yet another masterpiece for Sony's console, Shadow of the Colossus.Shadow of the Colossus takes a really new and fresh way of storytelling. You won't hear one English word spoken in the whole game. Instead, the creators created a fictional language for use in the game, and you'll have to read the subtitles. This fictional language will pretty much be spoken Dormin, the person you obey throughout the game. ...
