    Shadow Of The Colossus

    The other day I received a demo for Shadow of the Colossus from that Playstation 2 club.. You ride your horse for a minute and then fight a colossus in this demo. I really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the creativity you needed in order to take down the colossi. I know we have some ICO fans out there (I wasn't too impressed with that game myself) and I do remember them making a topic about this before. I checked some reviews real quick. Off the top of my head 1up gave it a 9.5.

    I figured I'd make another topic because the game is released in only three days. I'm definately considering buying this game solely because of the demo.

    The game comes out tomorrow.



    The reviews are quite impressive.

          RE: Shadow of the Colossus

          Is this that weird game with nothing but bosses, and by bosses I mean giant rock monsters?
          So I've gone completely slack-ass and haven't done any work on creating games. =(

          In less-depressing news, I got a job for an online business (which sells non-electronic games, of all things!) which has taught me a lot about marketing online and all that jazz.

          So now I'm on Twitter @NoahWright.
          And I write the blog for their website.

          Plus I do cool programming in-house that you'll never see. =O

            Yes. This is that game.

              According to Kefit, the demo is terrible.

                This was about 8 topics down. but yeah, reviews coming in say it's pretty good. I don't buy new games, but I'll put this on my list.

                  The reason I liked it was because of the demo. I thought it played pretty nicely.

                  Yeah, and what the hell, I just made this topic and no one posted.

                  I might pick this up this weekend.

                    Sorry, I didnt notice it. I am the worst mod ever. Merged.

                    I love how Gamestop advertised that today was the release of Shadow of the Colossus, but failed to say that they won't recieve the title until tomorrow. Wankers. I also went to Target, and the Best Buy. None of those retailers had it either.

                    So, looks like I will be getting it tomorow then.

                      RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Shadow of the Colossus

                      Alright, so I finally picked up a copy. Once I started playing, I couldnt stop until my mom forced me to eat dinner. It is an awesome game so far. Though it does take some thinking to figure out how to topple the each colossi. I've defeated four so far, some being easier than others.

                      The game is set up like one huge level. The size is overwhelming and it is pretty easy to get lost. The art is stunning..ICO stunning.

                      Though I am really digging Shadow of the Colossus so far, it hasnt captured me like ICO did, but I did just start the game. So I see how it goes later on down the line.

                        This is one of those games that borderline art and video game. The pure atmosphere of the game is breath taking and taking down a Colossus is exhilirating. But, then you start to realize that you are killing the great Colossus, mythical monsters who have been here for 100s of years. Thats kind of sad in a way.

                        And yes I have the game.

                          I would get this game, but I have this strange feeling in my gut, and it feels like a little man screaming "REPLAY VALUE!? WHERE IS IT!?!?"

                          Sounds like a good rental, though.

                              the replay value i hear is actually quite good. many modes get unlocked, and certain things to do are only possible on the 2nd play through...of course, i don't have the game yet, so i can't speak from personal experience...just what i've read.
