Joe of Gameinformer writes ' I'm not a believer when it comes to the intersection of 3D and gaming, but today I saw a title that made me take it more seriously...even though the game originally came out years ago.'
"Each day this week our writer Vaughn will be putting up an article about one particular level, place, moment, in a game that’s really captures the titles essence but because of this there could be spoilers ahead.. It’s called Levelling Out and for day three he’s looking at Shadow of the Colossus.
"The long and tired debate ‘are video games an art form’ is so bulky that I could write many articles citing examples of why. However, this isn’t an article about that topic, and if it was it would be incredibly late to the party. Although I won’t be drawing upon artistic merit, I will be talking about one game that supports the argument more than anything else that’s come in the last few years: Team Ico’s dark and powerful tale of a young mans love for another and the lengths he will go to save her. I am, of course, talking about Shadow of the Colossus - but in particular, the Colossi themselves."
I remember nearly giving myself an anuerism trying to beat them on Hard Time Attack mode. At least the treasures were OP.
I havent beated hard time attack yet but normal i have and pretty kickass prizes there.
Join Josiah and Sam as they venture into the old-school world of ICO, remastered in HD for PlayStation 3. As two ICO virgins, Josie and Sam discover this 11-year-old game, leading you through the good, the bad, and the downright peculiar.
In this episode, our two adventurers meet the main characters of ICO, solve some puzzles, and explore the dangers of casual racism.
I just started playing ICO and man I should have played it way back when it first came out. It's a very special game but it's not for everyone.
ICO was an amazing game for its time, but games have come a long way since then and it's interesting to see what mechanics are dated now. ICO is far more frustrating than it use to be and this is a look at why that is.
EPIC..
Can't wait to see more gameplay of TLG on TGS..
Hmm I might give these games another whirl. My friend gave me SotC, didn't really know what I was doing so didn't get into it, and I played Ico when the ps2 was new, I played a demo of it at walmart and was confused. I keep like calling some girl as I was walking and stuff...it was funny and cool.
I love these games more than anything I've played.(even next Gen)
This was the reason (for me) to believe in playstation exclusives.
I can't wait.
Iam glad to hear that. This with U3, KZ3, MS3 and MK9...now i think i need 3dtv :)
As cool as Metal Gear 2 and 3 in HD will be, it doesn't come close to the Team Ico Collection in my book. Want now.
