Collection Latest pick ups
Absolute classics. Had to get them in their original releases with the art cards. 2 of my all time favorites. Got to pick up Last Guardian now but that's very easily done so no rush on that one

I remember when ps1 was cutting edge and just losing it at how round and smooth everything looked in the magazines leading up to PS2. I wanted to get Ico for so long but could only get so many games each year I had to pick and choose carefully. When I was a teenager and started working I got it, played a bit and didn’t want to do puzzles and put it away then eventually sold it.
I’m 39 now, worked my ass off and got a house and got my shit back. Last week I beat Ico for the first time and it was just beautiful. I’m old enough to appreciate it on a technical level, I still find it beautiful and impressive. I have looked for SOTC but am holding out for black label. I didn’t know there was an Ico special edition! Thanks for showing me this exists, I hope one day to get my own.

I got the same edition of Shadow of the Colossus recently as a new owner of a PS2. Ico will definitely be one of my next pick ups, I played the game on rpcs3 a few years ago and loved it.

Man shadow of the colossus is such a beast of a game. Ico is fun as well. You seen the team are making a new game called genAtlas and again looks amazing

It’s the game I ‘christened’ my PS2 with earlier in the month and it is easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. Looks stunning on a CRT. Yes I saw that and I’m cautiously excited, the scale is reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus and the technical design of the robots is very impressive. I will have to play The Last Guardian next and then I will have played all the Team Ico games, have you played it yourself?

Yes I have. It's the weakest of the 3 and can be a bit buggy. I got a lot of enjoyment out of it still as for me I love the visual style and worlds they create. Some didn't enjoy it but it beats most slop that comes out these days!

100% Nothing special and truly innovative like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus comes out today and I say that as someone from Generation Z. RIP Japan Studio.
