ico ps2

[vaughan1206]

i had a demo disk for the ps2(until i had children) with a game called ico, you take control of a small child wearing a helmet with two horns on it and had to drag an older girl/woman around a scary castle. does this sound right to anyone or was it one of my dreams, as i tried to buy it locally and know one had ever heard of it. is it worth searching for it on tinternet or not.

It does exist so you're not going mad.
And yes it is worth searching for. I picked it up in a second hand game shop just before Christmas.

It was one of those games that critics loved but because there was no swearing/football/guns/cars in it nobody bought it. I think Shadow of the Collosus was a sort of sequel, but I might be wrong.

IGN has a review of it here:

Shadows Of The Collosus wasn't a sequel, just by the same people but it's equally as amazing as Ico.
Get BOTH!

I went into Game earlier and they had Shadow of the Collosus for �25 and that's second hand.

The original ICO came in a cardboard box with 4 graphic/art cards. Until about a year ago they were trading on ebay for up to 60 odd quid second hand. Very rare and cult classic. Then the developers realised that this was going on so they re released it at normal price. EG 30 odd quid.

It flopped first time round even tho the graphics are amazing. Ahh the wonders of cult status

BRILLIANT GAME
