It was on PSN for a month once, and when I lost access I borrowed a physical version of this game from someone. But I wanted to see if I can buy it and the store doesn't load? Another game I got the same way is still able to be bought (Ibb & Obb).

After finishing Ico, I've started on Shadow. So far, this game is blowing my mind. The tension and stress involved in fighting and slaying a colussus in the game is remarkable, coupled with the odd remorse you feel for unprovokedly seeking out and attacking and slaying these creatures, stabbing them savagedly with your sword until they bleed, and for what reason? The promise of some "gods" that they'll bring back your departed loved one? Its a game that gives you those tingles that you are playing something epic and you find yourself emotionally engaged with it. 3 colossi down, I'm guessing 13 to go?

Just thought I let you know. I am mending one of my biggest and most shameful blindspots: Fumito Ueda. So, I had the remake of SoC, and had the original versions in emulation.

Just thought I let you know. I am mending one of my biggest and most shameful blindspots: Fumito Ueda. So, I had the remake of SoC, and had the original versions in emulation. However, yesterday something clicked on me, I turned my lovely PS3 and went to the PS store to buy this collection. I thought I'd regret buying this. Not so.

Just now I have began to make my character walk in Ico and I am already impressed at how different the whole tone of the game is to everything else I have played. But also amazed at how ease and intuitive the controls are, how great it feels to move the character and how amazingly detailed are the animations. The best 19.99€ of my life! Loving this! After I go through Ico, I'll jump back to MGS3. Please someone bring these remasters to the new consoles!!!

Ok, so I guess they went for more stunlocking. And in the last colossus, no less... ಠ_ಠ

The fact that the 14th colossus is essentially a clone of the 11th but better designed only baffles me even more.

Well, fuck this game. The 11th colossus is essentially a stunlock battle. Who saw this 5 second recovery animation and said, "Yes, let's build a whole section our of this frustratingly dumb mechanic".

The game is gorgeous and extremely well done, but it depresses me every time it makes me kill the giants. Some of them don't even try to attack me. Perhaps I need to play jus one or two colossi per session.

The colossi are just minding their own business, being huge and cute, and then here comes this dumb kid, whom they did nothing wrong to, to bother them and then murder them.

I hate this game.

I'm used to early 2000's graphics as a bulk of gaming for me was on a PS2. Therefore playing PS3 era games is like a giant leap toward incredible visuals.

Having prefaced my experience playing PS3, which I missed out on when it was new, you can imagine how incredible Shadow of the Colossus is for me! I only beat the first colossus so far but I mean, wow! Everything is awesome, perfect sound track to go along with each scene and transition, cool story, nice and simple so far (I heard it gets tougher). Also I heard each colossus is like a puzzle with a trick to solve.

Looking forward to diving back into that world soon!

I'm 14 colossi in and I can't even get a hit on #15. I've been fighting him for over an hour and all the damage I've done has been from arrows. At one point I had hung on to his head for almost 20 minutes (retreating every minute or so) just trying to get a small hit in with the …

I'm 14 colossi in and I can't even get a hit on #15. I've been fighting him for over an hour and all the damage I've done has been from arrows. At one point I had hung on to his head for almost 20 minutes (retreating every minute or so) just trying to get a small hit in with the sword and I was unable to get even one hit. I looked at a guide, I'm not even doing anything wrong. SotC is completely unplayable late-game. Not very impressive for a game that a lot of people consider to be one of the best ever made. Very frustrating.

Just finished the ICO half of this remastered package. It has a real charm to it. If I had one minor critism it would be the controls are a bit fiddly and the camera is a bit wonky, but I have to reminding myself that this is an old PS2 game. I can see why everyone loves it and refers to it as a masterpiece. It deserves all the praise it’s gathered over the years and is still every bit as playable today. (...i bought a PS3 just purely for this, and Demon Souls, which i’ll get round to eventually).

I have SotC on PS2 but would prefer playing on PS3. Now I also have Ico. Pretty solid.

Got this when it first came out, but I've only gotten a little ways into it. I'm playing Ico for the first time. The puzzles are not fun. Well, I don't like puzzles, so... that's not saying much.
