Few games of the PS2 era garnered as much critical acclaim as SCE Japan’s Team ICO and their two epic adventure titles; 2001’s Ico, and 2005’s Shadow of the Colossus. Both titles revolutionized the art of storytelling and atmospheric design in their own unique and dreamy ways – the legacy of which can be found in games ranging from the popular God of War and Uncharted franchises, to the artistic puzzle-platformers Limbo and Braid. While the two titles are not directly related to one another in terms of storyline, they do share a mythical resemblance that is unmistakable as well as a single disc in Sony's latest remake-release, Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection.
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.
