Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

They're ok games, largely ignored wen they released, now praised like they're amazing. They aren't.

SotC was never ignored, it was always praised, the moment SotC came out it became insta classic. Shadow of the Colossus also made ICO more popular when it came out, ICO was rereleased when SOtC launched. You just hear more praise now because it's one of the few PS2 games that got a HD remake on PS3 and more people from a newer generation got to try it.

Shadow of the Colossus and ICO were both critically acclaimed game but the sales response for such high calibur games was left wanting. This gen I think more people got to realize how great such games were.
