A decade ago, Team Ico’s stunning platforming-puzzle game Ico hit the PS2 and made waves amongst hardcore gamers who were blown away by its incredible cinematography and minimalist plot. However, while the game was a critical hit, it didn’t do too well sales-wise. At its core, the story is about a boy named Ico shunned by a village that doesn’t understand him, thrown into a castle where he meets Yorda. She speaks a completely different language that he doesn’t understand, but he does understand that he needs to protect her from the evil shadow monsters coming to take her away, and does whatever is required to accomplish that goal.
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.
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.
