ICO great game? or greatest game?

I just beat it for a second time this morning and noticed so many more things

i.e. the impeccable camera work that actually manages to be a tool to help solve puzzles while retaining its aesthetic (same goes for Shadow of The Colossus), the beautiful and simple storyline, puzzles that (usually) don't involve box pushing(!).

I might be tempted to buy a PS3 simply because Fumito Ueda and his team are sticking with Sony.

apparently they're talking about doing something for the PSP as well...

I have skipped all posts to say thanks, seeing this in new answers finally made me order it! Roll on next week!

It arrived yesterday. Still only at the very beginning. Have gotten to bridge out of sarcophagus room. It's just beautiful. I spent ages just moving the camera round. This is the thread where kv_nol catalogues his ICO experience! (if that's okay with everyone?)

I love Shadow so much and yet have still not played Ico. I need to remedy this.

play ICO, you won't regret it. I think shadow is superior in its originality and overall direction, but ICO's fluid pacing and design really makes each room puzzle clearly a natural piece of a larger whole.

This game is quite boring. I have given up for a while at least. I think I might have built it up a bit too much!

Why do you make me hate you.

Piss off ;) I might try this game again today!

one year passes...

Anyone else think the ending on the beach is inspired by the ending of Sansho the Bailiff?
