Probably really old news to most, but release date is 28.10.11. Same release date as Battlefield 3.

Nothing new,  but the reissue of Shadow of the Colossus will give me a chance to finish it and they're enhancing the graphics to HD and 3D. If you missed it the first time round.. Then don't miss it this time!

Oh Oh Oh Oh thats better than sex.   I've been waiting a loooooooooooooong time to get a go of this game.  I was only ever allowed to be a 'helper' when this game was out first time around and never got to play it myself but it overwhelmed me how good it was and I've always wanted to play this now I'm a proper gamer in my own right. Can't wait.  So many good games coming out very soon I really hope I don't get run over by a bus or something before I get to experience them. It could happen. I am clumsy like that. Random I know. Ha ha.  awesome

For me SoTC and ICO are highlights of the epic ps2 era, them and GOW. Great games that deserve to be experienced by many more people.

I got ICO of lovefilm but sent it back because of this. Fell of my radar but will more than likely pic this up. These are the only games that could support a 'Game as an artform' argument.

Still have these for ps2.  Both beautiful games but I found SotC nails.  Did people generally find out how to best each colossus through trial and error or was there strategy involved that went totally over my head (which is what usually happens).

 

Whatever, these games will look even better with a bit of spit and polish so will be looking to pick up on ps3.

I only got as far as taking down the first big boy.

Am I right in thinking the remake dual pack is coming in at some good prices?

Where you playing SOTC on hard?  I don't think the vulnerable spots show up on hard.  On normal difficutly it's pretty easy.  Well, perhaps not easy, but I always knew what to do, even if it toook me a while to work it out!  Hang on, that last collosus was pretty damn tough.  How the hell are you supposed to work out about moving from somewhere near the right shoulder to be able to get on the right hand?

 

Great game and what an ending!

All these awesome titles coming out around the same time.. and my car Tax, MOT and Wife's Birthday!
My list of priorities is Battlefield 3, Ico & SotC and still undecided if my wife or my car is more dear to me. It should be a no brainer, but I could always get another wife!

So did anyone else buy them? I never owned a PS2 and read into the hype about ICO/SoTC when I was reading up on Last Guardian.

 

Bought the pack and…well..ICO is 'OK' so far, nothing special but exactly what I expected it to be. REALLY enjoying SoTC though, only 3 Collosi in but I hear it only gets better the further in you get so I'm expecting great things smile
