Why isn't the Shadow of the Colossus Remake in the Grouvee Games list? :/ Wasn't able to play this one on the PS2. But I'm looking forward to play the Remake on PS4.

I decided to finally finish this. I wasn't prepared for that ending. Really beautiful stuff. I am going to hold off on playing The Last Guardian for a little bit. I want to enjoy it without constantly comparing it to Colossus or Ico.

It is getting to the point where I feel bad for playing this game. I have defeated 12 colossi, but each one is such a magnificent creature that I really don't like watching them fall. It is clear nothing good will come from this - this story won't end well. I keep spacing out the battles by knocking out some shorter indie game in between. Ico had a happy ending, so maybe there is hope for this. Either way, it really is a beautifully constructed game.

So while playing Shadow of the Colossus, my PS2 died. I mean it just went black, and all of a sudden all my discs can't be read. Even DVD movies. Such a bummer :/

Just picked this back up tonight, beat the third and fourth Colossi. Hoping to light a fire under my ass and get farther through this thing very soon. What a heartbreaking, adrenalizing, perfect game.
