TSA Review: Ico and Shadow Of The Colossus: HD Classics

TSA:
It’s worth re-iterating for those that aren’t familiar with Team Ico’s games that both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were two of the most refined games on the PlayStation 2. Despite a slightly niche, cult following they make for a solid investment and still play just as well today as they did all those years ago – the mechanics, unlike the visuals, haven’t aged a bit.

Instant buy.

I have both originals and getting the collection day one. My wife use to watch me play SOTC all the time. That and Uncharted is the only games she cares about.

[wenaldy]

I cant believe you got disagrees..

[Ulf]

Yeah wow @ the disagrees.

The fanboy hate must be truly blinding, to not give these games the props they deserve.

[Gazondaily]

Deffo getting this. Never got to complete the original.

[Why o why]

this last quarter is going to strain the ef out of my pocket and lead me to make questionable decisions

[LiamIRL82]

So looking forward to seeing these in HD. True classics.

Just ordered off of Amazon for $20. Never played either game so I can't wait.

[Ares84]

How did you get it for $20???

[UltimateIdiot911]

Probably has credits. Hate when people say they got it for x amount but don't bother state if they used credit or got it through a deal.

[HelghastKid]

Yea I got credit from buying Deus EX. Sorry if i made you mad Ultimate :c

[UltimateIdiot911]

Nah, not your fault, I overreacted. I'm on CAG and SD forum a lot so there are always a few people who always say they got it at x price and saving x dollars but never state how.

In reality, they are not saving x dollars from credits. It's why credits are so hot with retailers these day. It creates this illusion that when you preorder a game let say for $60 with $20 credit, that you're really just paying $40 for the game. In their mind, it's like paying $40. Then when another game comes along that you want, a lot of people convince themselves that by using the credit, they are saving $20. People tend to forget about the fact that they paid $60 for the game because they have this impression, they bought it for $40.

It's happening, it's actually happening. It's finally coming out.

[NBT91]

I never played either of them originally, so I have a feeling I am in for a gaming treat with these.
