I hafe to admit though the only thing holding me back from buying Ico is that it was a 2000 release , and i have a problem with retro graphical shock .

 

That typo actually made me laugh. Hats off to you!

 

I played ICO a few years ago with my cousin, and it has insanely hard puzzles. We ended up getting stuck at some point and we never did get passed it... even with a guide!

 

It was fun though. The combat was extremely basic but running around and going through the game was pretty fun. There was also a bit of constant tension having to worry about that uselessly defenseless girl getting nabbed by the baddies. :P

 

Wait, you couldn't figure it out, even with a guide?  I don't understand what that means?

 

I think I remember using a guide once during ICO.  It's definitely the kind of game where you can get stuck, and sometimes it's on something that turns out to not even be a puzzle -- just going somewhere you hadn't quite noticed, or something small like that. 

 

   I beat the game in one sitting, though, despite getting stuck for a while two or three times.  It helps to have someone watching you play contributing their own ideas.

 

The biggest problem about that was we had no idea where we were in accordance to the guide. The guide did a piss-poor job of explaining where in the game it was and where in the game you were. Then again I would probably have a hellofa time trying to write a clear guide on that game. It was basically filled with "the room after the outside bridge", "near the next room on the left", etc.
