Yes, they did make a sequel to Shadow of the Colossus, and Ico is it. And it was for PS2! And I own it. How happy for me.

But Ico came first! SotC is the SEQUEL here.

P.S. I hear Team Ico is working on PS3 game.

SotC is the game made after Ico that takes place earlier in the timeline. And since a sequel is something that follows after, I'm not really sure what to call it. I suppose prequel might do.

Fifth: I wouldn't know, I haven't finished the game yet, and haven't looked at Ico. Didn't really occur to me they already made another game :/

Fnord: That is exactly what I was thinking about Guitar Hero III. There's no way they can abandon PS2, since tons of people already have the system and guitar (and not many PS3s have sold, but that probably wouldn't be a factor). As for a worthy sequel, it most likely depends on which songs they put in and whether or not they try to "fix" the game. If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Yeah, as for all this SotC/Ico stuff, does Ico play like SotC? I would be interested in picking it up if it is a true game to the series.

I haven't actually had a chance to play mine yet, but Ico is not a jump around ride a horse and stab stuff game. It's a walk around and guide a blind princess through a big ol' castle game. Dunno what you mean about "true to the series" though, since there have only been two games, and Ico was made years before SotC. But no, they don't play the same.

Shadow of the Colossus is a completely different game from Ico. Sure, it's got that same surrealness to it, but...y'know, it's different.

That's what I mean by true to the series. I was wondering if it was a ride-on-a-horse-and-stab-people-from-all-directions-hastily! kind of game. Doesn't look like it, though.

Pretty clever there.

Seems like a million years since I first heard and looked forward to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

EDIT: I just read the Store's description of Excitebike and it advertises "hairpin turns". WTD??

Mmmm, must pick up Rocky Balboa. Hoping to see TMNT but like 300, I'll probably never get around to seeing it in theatres.

DDR: Universe was actually already out, but forgotten off past lists.

Lizard Dude · « **Reply #117 on:** March 29, 2007, 03:43:37 AM »

I noticed the Disney Meteos in a store today and didn't remember it from the list.

I thought it was supposed to have online play, but it didn't have the logo. :<

Apparently it now lets you slide the blocks horizontally, which stinks because that was half the challenge of the original.

Hmm. Not to be too offtopic, but I assume everyone's heard of the new X-BOX 360 Elite edition, right? If not, here's a link: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/xbox360elite/default.htm. What are your views on it right now?
