8BitBot: Ico & SotC: Still Relevant?
"When the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus HD remakes were announced we were struck with a bout of mixed emotions. The simple reason for that is our incredibly fond memories of these two PS2 masterpieces were about to undergo a test, a test we felt wasn’t needed. Considering how poorly other icons from our youth have withered in the test of time the alarm bells were justified. Luckily the PS2 era is not all that old so hope remained for these two gems. In addition to that we wondered if these games are relevant anymore, when they launched they stood out as games that might be considered art, games that deviated massively from the norm and made an impact and now that impact might not be as prevalent. Join us as we try to find the answers."
