Matt Keil writes: If you have ever felt and savored that certain transcendent escapism unique to a brilliant videogame, you owe it to yourself to experience this collection. There is an honesty and care in them that is all too rare today. Fans of Team Ico already know that they’re getting two exceptional games in this collection. Added bonus video content makes the deal all the sweeter. For those who have yet to play one or both of them, here’s your chance to right a great wrong. More people should experience these titles, and as someone who generally ranks Shadow of the Colossus as his favorite game of all time, I am grateful Sony has made that possible for PS3 owners.
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.

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.
I cannot wait to get this game.......again
Edit
...and play Ico for the first time
Have and played both. one of the most profound entertainment experiences of my lifetime for sure!
I saw the stellar reviews start to roll in and thought the game might be out already! I was kind of sad to hear I'll have to wait a couple more weeks. I really can't wait to play these for the first time. From what I've seen and heard, they are undoubtedly gems.
played SoTC but this is my first try at Ico.
I cannot wait for this. I had ICO and Shadow of the Colossus on PS2, but my memory card became corrupted and I never went back. :(
