I never played SotC when it originally dropped. Always meant to but never got round to it. But I'm tempted to cop the HD update.

The only thing I'm wondering is will the gameplay feel a bit :flabbynsick: ?

From what I've read Ico is quite dated but I'm wondering about Shadow? Does it still hold up in 2012?

Definitely buy it unless you have GameFly, then just rent it.

Ico is much loved, and for good reason, but it is very short.
Same for Shadow, but those monster fights are incredible.

A game where it is ONLY boss battles? and they are good boss battles? sign me up any day.

PS2 games dont age well after you become accustomed to next gen. Dont bother.

You know the collection is on ps3, in hd and possibly 3d right?

It looks very nice. Not as good as a current gen game, but much better than they ever looked, even on release on ps2.

Looks sandy like the beach and dusty like rhodes.

i'm about to cop from Gamestop today. noticed this is only $20. i heard Shadow of the Colossus ran like crap on the PS2 so its better to get this anyway even though i own Shadow of the Colossus on PS2 and just never played it.
