Sign me up. I love ICO. When I have some spare cash I'll definitely try to pick up the rerelease of ICO, as it's at a nice price currently. Speaking of ICO, I have a few websites relating to ICO art which I thought would be nice to share, as you probably won't find them simply via google.

I don't spend my days hunting this stuff down(like Q ='D) but there's some really nice stuff in here, guys. I suggest you check it out if you're interested, and if you look hard enough there's even some Shadow of the Colossus fanart shoved in there as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Tell that to my PAL version of FFX which has larger black boarders than you could possibly imagine.

That's the first time somebody has ever said 50Hz looks better than 60Hz, unless you're meaning PAL60 which I haven't experienced first hand.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Picked this up for $37 US. The disc is in incredible condition and it appears as if it's been taken really good care of.

Unfortunately I rarely even remember anything from the first time I played ICO. Currently I'm up to the part where you find the sword, and I've had to use a guide already because I'm horrible at 3D games and suck at puzzles.

I never noticed this before, but the demo I've been playing is different from the game. The european demo has you save Yorda, open the Idol doors which leads into the windmill, which leads into the outer door closing. It all appeared to fit properly in the demo, but apparently that wasn't the case in the actual game.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

If you can do ICO in two and a half hours you might as well submit a video to Speed Demos Archive.

I'm 4 hours in and I'm taking it pretty slow.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I must confess, I often like seeing Ico stumble and start to fall, then hang off a cliff.

It's pointless, but I always end up doing it. It's a really bad habit.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

To be honest, that looks like it'd become boring after awhile. But I'm really surprised that it's a Simple Series release, with such quality and effort put into the game.

505 Gamestreet will probably make a PAL release and name it "Oversized Bug Invasion"

You're a redhead. You drive an ambulance and you save people who just happen to be gradually transforming into zombies. Meanwhile at the hospital, people add upgrades to your ambulance such as spiked wheels, faster speed, extra defense, etc. Then you have the combo counter and zombies spawning in the middle of the road. The game reeks of awesome, much like Shinryu Explosion (Saturn game to Simple Series).

Just because it's a simple series game, doesn't mean it sucks, although 90% of the time it does. People are very critical when it comes to Zombie vs. Ambulance, because Simple Series titles don't have the greatest reputation.

I don't really like oversized bugs and spiders and shit (even Mushihimesama's fourth boss creeps me the fuck out) so I might give it a miss. It looks graphically stunning though.

Thread related: In ICO I'm at the waterfall save point, and there's this part where you have to climb yourself around a room to pull a lever, which makes this cogwheel and brick start rotating/moving upwards. Sort of stuck there. I guess I'll hit up GameFAQs when I'm in the mood again.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
