Shadow of the Colussus 2

Here it is...the official footage of Shadow of the Colossus 2!

Note the amazing rag-doll physics and the impressive attention to detail in the animation. I expected nothing less from Team ICO. Enjoy.



When you've stopped crying from the hilariousness of it all, remember that there clearly is a huge following for SotC, and that videos such as these are made by fans expressing their desire to see a sequel, to what must be one of the greatest games of all time.

Nico - SotC Beta

Test reel for the proposed SotC on the PS2. Even at this stage the game showed great potential. I think Team ICO wanted the game to be multi-player, but I prefer the loneliness the final game portrays. It makes the experience much more personal and grants the feeling of freedom, yet constraint to complete the colossus task at hand.

Ico - The Beginning

This is the introduction to Ico. It's worth noting that, although the amount of spoken language is minimal, a great sense of mood and meaning is gained simply from the imagery. This is an art which not many developers adopt these days relying instead on hammy dialogue and/or scrolling text.

Truly an iconic introduction to a game and an indication that you're about to play something quite different from anything else.

A Real Boy With Horns

Life imitating art? It does happen, and when it does it is usually something which is debated, studied and discussed.

The New York Times has a remarkable story of a young boy of 13 months whom, for whatever reason has started growing horns from his head. Unfortunately there are no pictures to substantiate the claim.

I am intrigued as to the reasons for such a growth, and I'm also feeling a little sorry for the child in question whom is sure to become the object of many tests and sermons during his life.

It's a real shame that our differences are treated in such a way. One would've thought that our many features which make us unique would be celebrated.
