TeamICOgamers.blogspot recently held a competition and asked their readers to write to them , why they like Team ICO so much.Well,Here's the winning entry.It is...lovely.
I missed out on the first one, but when I played the second it turned out to be my fav game of all time. Yes even more so than the next gen games we play today.
That article reads like some prepubescent kid who just discovered swearing and thus feels the urge to drop f-bombs in every sentence in an attempt to appear cool and mature. It's time to move past that phase.
Oh yeah, and ICO and Shadow Of The Colossus are two of the greatest games ever made, blah blah blah, goes without saying by now.
Damn, I didn't even know this competition was on. I'm not much of a writer but loving team ICO is basically my specialist subject these days. The only thing keeping me from delivering a great rant about how awesome a game like SOTC is is the fact that it's so damn awesome I can't find the words.
Technically - Just look at those screencaps ... PS2 people, it was on the PS2. I mean ...
Artistically - Just ... what can you say??? It just touches your heart. Everything about it. The setting, the characters, the music, the way it's told. it's just ...
Gameplay...umm...ally - What even is it?? 16 Boss fights ... but the bosses are also puzzles ... and they're the level itself ... I mean ... wha??...
Yea I beleive that was a huge shock to everyone who played. I mean like he was the only friend you knew throughout the entire game and then he just falls and dies like that. Obvioulsy he doesnt die but at the time it was sad.
Wow, I like how she ruins SotC. Way to go! I don't know if she ruined ICO since I stopped when she mention it and I haven't played it yet, but I bet she did.
Oh and was the excessive swearing needed at all? How old is she? 12?
lol that pretty much sums up her thoughts. Damn i can't believe i missed out on this masterpiece last gen :/
one word 'this is only possible on ps3'
Team ICO = EPIC
1 of the best games Ive played in ps2's gen.Best always the Best Always will be.
I just finished reading the article. That was absolutely amazing. One of the best articles I have ever read. I'm not joking, that was brilliant.
