Shadow of the Colossus




















Just like Ico this game is a 'must-play'. Contrary to Ico's quiet and subtle puzzle gameplay, SotC is an epic battle taking on boss after boss after boss. The bosses are huge structures/creatures/entities(?) cal
led Colossi that roam the land and it's your job to take all sixteen of them down. You play as 'Wander' a young man who has come to this land drawn by a legend, one that says there might be someone there who is able to bring his beloved back from the dead. He's in luck - the disembodied occupant of the local temple offers to help him, on the condition that he can track down and destroy all sixteen colossi. With the help of his trusty horse, Agro and his magical sword which directs him to each colossi, he sets about to complete his mission.




















Colossus 3 'Gaius' The Knight

Shadow of the Colossus retains the beauty of Ico with it's breathtaking washed-out landscape and ancient ruins. It might be a very simple game to play, offering just two weapons to choose from, but each colossi is a puzzle to solve, as you work out how to take him down. You must play this game.
