There’s also a bit of scaredy-cat combat, with Ico swinging a little stick at Yorda’s creepy pursuers. Together their powers make for excellent puzzle platforming. She really sucks at all of that, but at least she holds some mysterious power that lets her open temple doors for Ico. You’ll hold down the L1 button to hold her hand and guide her away from danger, onto platforms, over ledges and more. Ico’s gameplay is platforming, but the twist is that this boy has to drag along his companion, Yorda. After freeing her, the boy finds out that they will have to work together to make it out of the temple. While working to make his way out of the temple, he encounters a mysterious girl held captive in some kind of bird cage, held up and away from scary shadow people who seem to want to drag her underground. Some kind of natural tremor happens just after his imprisonment and this allows him to escape. He is placed inside a large stone container and put on an even larger stone shelf containing many more of these containers. Here’s the CliffsNotes version of Ico‘s story for those who have somehow missed this game: Ico‘s opening shows a young boy with horns being dragged off to a massive stone temple. The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection (PlayStation 3)

So again, news of a HD remaster for PS3 was a dream come true for me.
Even this die-hard fan will admit that there were hardware limitations, graphical glitches, low frame rates and some control issues. While both games are still among the most expressive, artful and influential titles ever created, they had their issues. My heart wants to say that the original PS2 titles were perfect, but the game critic in me knows better. Obviously I was excited to hear that both games would appear on one compilation, remastered in high definition on the PlayStation 3. If he didn’t love it, at least he knew better than to tell me otherwise. I insisted that he play Shadow of the Colossus, and I monitored his progress throughout, clearly stating that he was forbidden from doing anything else until he completed what I consider to be one of my favorite games of all time. One friend of mine in particular came to my city for a short visit not too long ago. I hold both in such high regard that I’ve been known to force people to play them. Both Shadow of the Colossus and Ico were crafted by the creative minds at Team Ico, a group that is slow to release games, but makes masterpieces each time. Two of the finest PlayStation 2 titles I know of were created by the same team.
