Shadow of the Colossus is One Good Game
Wired has a puff piece on Shadow of the Colossus. It's the kind of game that pushes the boundaries of interactive entertainment into a true mainstream art-form. Nice job Ico team. Nice job Sony.
Colossus truly excels at manipulating your emotions. You'll go from feeling a sense of loneliness and despair as you gallop through desolate plains to feeling jubilant exhilaration as you cling to the back of a bucking, thrashing colossus and deliver the death blow -- all accompanied by a gorgeous orchestral score.
