Will herring writes: Their storylines are minimal, tightly-woven affairs that hardly harangue players with a plethora of plot, but what's there strikes a powerful balance of the fantastical and emotional that manages to resonate long after the credits roll. It's masterful storytelling, and re-experiencing both titles these years later just reaffirms that the mantra of "a good story, well told" most certainly has its place in the games industry.
YouTube’s ‘reznoire’ has shared three new videos, showing three PS3 exclusive games running on the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3. These three games are The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection, Heavenly Sword and Journey.
Technically Shadow of the Colossus is a PS2 remaster on PS3 but it is interesting seeing the progress made with emulation.
Endlessbacklog.com podcast on Shadow of the Colossus, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Uncharted 4.
Favourite video game boss fights for me are in The Shadow of the Colossus, very few other games have such good boss fight design.
Replies(1)I'd probably go with Terra's Armor from KH2 FM. The very assence of overpowered superboss, even Sephiroth can't put a finger on him... or rather it.
I thought the Storm King fight in Demon's Souls using the Storm Ruler Sword was effing awesome.
Amazing games. Truly a unique and refreshing experience for gamers.
I got my hands on ICO a few weeks ago (shame on me, I know). I dusted off my old PS2 and guess what. It was great. Suddenly I was sucked into a world where time has stopped. No shooting, no killing, no blood. Just a boy trying to save a girl. One windy old castle filled with grass with shade of green I have never seen before.
Sadly, I havent played a game with similar atmosphere this generation.
its sad that we can only get one Team Ico game this generation though...
Oh yeah!
gonna love stabbing the 5th Collossus in HD!
I thought this collection was out because of all the reviews, man I am disappointed now. I was going to pick it up over the weekend, lol. Oh well, I'll fill my gaming needs with Resistance 3 and others until then. Going to download Alundra and Breath of Fire 4 on PSN, not sure which to get yet.
