Play it. You've never played anything like it before.

And the links to ICO are pretty loose. Just the ending is connected to ICO.

Wow somebody needs to get out but anyways yes play it def

thanks guys much appreciated

I'll try to start this week since my summer course is very lite and not as busy as the winter one

a prequel to IcO ???

huh ? really ?

I always keep in mindit was a sort of "sequel" considering how it starts ...

and yes, go play SotC

it is better than IcO imo

IcO is underacheved to me, too short and not enought deep in term of story/character

SotC is a prequel. All that happens in that game comes together at the end to make you understand how ICO came to be many generations later.

sort of a spoiler since the story elements in the games are vague...part of the fun is figuring that out, actually.

I've been trying to hunt SotC down now for a few weeks, but been pretty unsuccessful other than the overpriced copies on eBay... which i don't want to pay for. But, i guess i may have to.

Ico is $34 on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00004YUWA/ref=sr_1_olp_9?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1241527852&sr=8-9

SotC is less than $20: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0009I6S0O/ref=pd_bbs_olp_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1241527852&sr=8-1
