The game is saved, however, by molasses rich atmosphere, a heart-ripping soundtrack, and terrific level pacing. Perhaps it’s a wishy-washy statement, but the controls may not be for everyone, and others may not care either way. I haven’t played this game in a long time, and I was initially irritated with the sluggish controls, but once I got the hang of it, I was back in the saddle. If you aren’t used to this game, you may find yourself extremely frustrated with the controls, combat, and the lack of intelligence in the A.I. He uses a stick for combat-yup, don’t expect riveting action-and when you aren’t platforming and solving puzzles, you are swinging your weapon in an attempt to fend off attacking shadow creatures. However, if you haven’t played either game yet, now is your chance to see what all your friends have been bragging about. Needless to say, if you already played these games, you likely have this collection on pre-order already. Now, in a move that is sure to delight anyone with a penchant for all things gaming, Team Ico has seen fit to unveil the Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection for PlayStation 3, bringing both PlayStation 2 titles to Sony’s latest home console on a single Blu-ray disc, with HD graphics, Trophy support, and 3D. These titles remind us how far the industry has come they represent how gaming is so much more than moving around an old plumber to rescue some princess-yet, the core of both entries retain that youthful, exciting feeling. Both offer equally lonely journeys, with atmosphere that is unmatched even by today’s standards. For some, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were the poster children for the PlayStation brand, while others held tight to the titles as cult classics, proud of their experience with these elite games. Years ago, if Sony ever polled PlayStation fans about which two games they felt deserved the HD facelift, surely the offerings from Team Ico would top that list.
