Not cool. That only works with LBP.

Which reminds me, I need to get Ico as well. I've only played (and own) Shadow of the Colossus (but it doesn't work anymore )

ICO & SOTC were two of the most boring games I have ever played.

they are the absolute low highlights of SONY 1st Party along with Resistance imo.

n people rate them over GOW, GT, LBP, Ratchet, Jak n those franchises..laughable.

most of the love for ICO n SOTC comes because they sold like not very much....its all this sympathy similar to the Dreamcast.

SONY & LBP FTW! ICO & SOTC FTL!!

This is also a legitimate perspective from which to speak.

 

A legitimately BAD perspective.

no, its a lousy game. Please don't waste your $20.

In spite of the seeming heresy of it, coolestguyever also has a legitimate opinion, vagabond. Be warned: some people just don't like Team ICO's games. You may be one, in the end.

Well it seems he just doesn't like good games. He's the first person I've seen who bought Valkyria Chronicles and didn't like it.

So, HE'S the one who wrote that review on the Gamestop/EBGames site?

I'm sorry. I think I've seen the most idiotic thing ever. That "review" was so bad, it's not even funny. For someone who bought something online, he sure is grossly misinformed on what kind of awesome Valkyria Chronicles is.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

ICO was the first PS2 game that I ever purchased. It is spectacular in a number of ways.

Of all the games I've played that have a certain amount of hype surrounding them, ICO is probably the worst.

Imagine the worst parts of Myst crossed with the worst parts of Tomb Raider, and you have this game. Except that those games at least have decent visuals. ICO's graphics is just a blurry mess.

Not my cup of tea perhaps, but I can understand why many other games I dislike are popular. This game really strikes me as yet another example of "the emperor's new clothes".

I wouldn't exactly call ICO "popular" or "hyped."  ICO is a niche game, whose supporters could be referred to as a "vocal minority."  It is emotionally charged and full of beauty, which are qualities that often go unappreciated when compared to more mainstream titles.
