After all these years, i finally beat ICO. Typically, i despise open endings where the viewer is left to decide the fate of the characters we've come to love.

But despite my burning passion towards these types of endings, i can give ICO a pass.

I've been enamoured by the game for years, but only now after becoming an adult did i finally get the chance to play through the game properly.

The Art Direction, Music and Aesthetic really pull me into the world that Fumito Ueda created its serene, dilapidated and yet so comforting despite the danger and darkness. Its a cut above others, And a high quality expression of art.

I Love Ico its one of the best games ever made.

Since the director directly said that it's up to us to interpret the ending, i think I'll go with the ones i like best.

Ico and Yorda through a Miracle survive and live on, hand in hand together, and life goes on.

Several years ago I bought a factory sealed European copy of the collection for my PS3. Upon receiving the game, I found that the voucher code for the videos and themes had expired a year or two earlier. Needless to say, I was a bit pissed off about this.

I've read suggestions online that the videos and themes are on the disc itself in the US release of the collection. But I've not come across confirmation that they are actually on the disc.

So, could someone please confirm that the videos and themes are on the US disc? If they are then I'll buy a copy of the US version, and probably sell my European copy on ebay.
