I have been constantly been spying teamicogamers.blogspot for around 2 years waiting for info. Ever since last year when the trailer leaked, I have been waiting. I thought it came out sometime this year? Even though i dont own a ps3, i'm going to pick up the game as soon as it is out. I need to find ico though first, as i only have Shadow of the Colossus. Might pick up the Euro version though, I wouldnt be able to play it, but it looks better.

Turns out the ICO Euro version has a 60hz mode. Works fine on NTSC if you have a boot disc. Worth picking up for the extra features.

There's a really great article about how the control scheme for Shadow of the Colossus adds to the artistic merit of the game, especially in regards to Agro's AI.

Great read!
I thought interaction with the horse is pretty good, especially the way you can rotate around shooting arrows while riding.
Really a touch of genius, the R1 button. Literally really feels like I have to hold on to that Colossus.

OOF! I take it you didn't want to fall off that Colossus! My callused finger is still healing.

Thanks for the support guys. Even after so long.

Good login name.

Looking for more info on ICO and Shadow PAL vs NTSC.
Any other differences besides what was stated on previous page?

Finally, release date on Last Guardian?

The box art on the NTSC version sucks compared to PAL.

Here's what the EU and JPN box art looks like:


Well designed. Understated. Lovely.


But we get this crap in the US:


I didn't even want to play Ico when it first came out because the box art was so fugly.

The Euro cover looks great, captures mood of exploration! U.S. cover makes ICO look like a basic RPG.

In case anyone missed it there is an unofficial Japan Cover for ICO. Really like this one.
