Just finished the game...fucking amazing. It's incredible how much emotion a game can create without being filled with useless narrative. Absolutely loved the ending, hell I loved everything about it. The controls were a bit wonky a few times, but the good HEAVILY outweighs the bad.

I am a little over half-way through. I am moving this weekend, and won't have my PS2 for a month. But shortly after that, I plan to resume it. And then, straight into ICO. :D

^Dolson have you tried Okami yet?

More games like this and ICO are needed.

Nope. My Wii has been in its box and in storage since February. And I don't want the PS2 version at all.

What's wrong with the ps2 version? Great game by the way.

OMG. SotC is one of the best games of all time and my number 2 favorite game of all time (behind Super Mario Galaxy)

It's an absolutely gorgeous game and the story is so heart wrenching...

As for Okami, I own it (hurray) but I get to part where you beat Orochi and stop playing (boo).
I'm not sure what it is, but I can't push myself beyond that point...It feel likes the game should end there...
Can you guys push me to continue playing...Like does the story get even better or should I just stop where I am??

I got to the beginning of the snow area and stopped there. I remember being 30 some hours in, so the game is quite long by action adventure standards. That was on my ps2, I'd like continue on my ps3 but I have to purchase that damn memory card adapter.

Since I have a Wii, I'd rather have the version where the pointer controls add to the game.

Look around, they're cheap now, on account of them being utterly useless for anyone who didn't get an early PS3. I got an adapter for $2.00 at Blockbuster. I'll use it to get my PS1 saves.. And if PS2 emulation ever hits in a firmware update, I'm covered.

If you love Shadow of the Colossus and ICO, check out this new leaked footage of the team's upcoming game: http://bit.ly/kdK4T

No joke, it looks incredible already. And this footage is apparently about a year old. It can only get better!

Shadow of the Colossus and Ico were two very special games. Both of them really pushed games into the realm of 'art.'

I'm so happy to hear that team Ico is still making these games, despite their lackluster sales. They must have a long retail life (like cult films). Either way I look forward to the next game in the "series."

Shadow and Ico are two of my favorite games of all time. Brilliant game design, insanely fun. The teams next project already looks stellar.
