Remember the third colossus in Shadow of the Colossus? Remember getting there? You have to swim across a lake and scamper up a long, curving ramp to a pedestal that towers up from the lake's center. Only one jump separates the main character from the battlefield.
"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.
How is the story of a bunch of journalists forgetting to press the grab button worthy of an article? I wish I could unread some things.
Fail
No wonder major sites are so off with their reviews, they can't play games properly.
This actually sheds a lot of light why not one major site praised the Move controls in Killzone 3. You'd think someone would have realized that Move controls are revolutionary for console FPS games, really the accuracy is unmatched and the movement the same or even a bit faster. But no one praise it at all..probably because no one could learn how to control the Move.
I see now they are just not qualified.
Oh man, that jump. I remember that jump. It's an odd one, and I've never figured out why. You don't have to grab the edge to make it, you can actually just jump across. I can make it, it's easily possible, but sometimes you just don't seem to jump as far or something.
Can't wait for this to come out,I got rid of ico years ago and kicked myself for doing that:]I tried to get a copy again sometime ago but the price was crazy high!Anyway pretty stoked that this is coming out again.Also SOTC is one of the most underated games of all time
