What did y'all think?

Ico is an early ps2 game. The plot was this: a young boy in a small village is born with horns. It happens once a generation or so, and the villagers aren't happy about it. on his 14th birthday, he's exiled to a strange castle far from the village. He decides to escape, and while doing so, he finds a girl trapped in a cage. He rescues her from the cage, and they try to make it out of the castle. Along the way, the meet the witch who trapped the girl, and her army of the other horned boys souls. As I remember it, they look a lot like heartless from Kingdom Hearts. It's fun and gorgeous. Mostly puzzle/platforming, some action segments. Shadow of the Colossus is different from Ico, but it has the same look. A boy rides into a deserted land on a horse, with a girl draped over the back of the saddle. He comes to a temple, and talks to the gods about resurrecting said girl. The gods say they can do it, but only if he kills 14 or so colossi that roam the land. The colossi are essentially boss battles, and they're the only battles in the game. It's kill the first colossi, get some story, go to the second, kill it, get some story, etc. The scale of those things is huge. the character has to climb up them, while they try to shake him off. They act like real creatures, and not scenery, which they resemble. It's hard to explain without you seeing it. There are probably trailers for it on youtube. But I'd pick it up as soon as you could. You won't be disappointed.

wow, they both sound really good, especially Ico, i love games like that, kinda gave me a flashback of Diablo: the lord of destruction, i don't know why, anyway, about that ebay deal, i'll probably need a credit card or paypal for that, and i don't have either, but i could probably get my gameshop guy to get me a copy.

Yeah. I loved how the Colossi reacted to the player. It seemed like a real, visceral beast, and not some programmed boss with an easy to spot attack pattern.
