Shadow of the Colossus

This underhyped PS2 title is quite possibly the closest thing to art as a video game that I have experienced. The great care and meticulous attention to detail with which this world was crafted outshines even the adrenaline-soaked battles with the colossi (your sole enemies in this game.) Fumito Ueda (creator of ICO) and his team have produced one of the most unique experiences in recent memory. If you want a review, check out Gamespy.

Anyone who craves a breath of fresh air amongst all the recycled ideas rampant in the gaming scene should definitely give SoC a try.

Watch that first step....

This is my first attempt at a (cough) serious blog. There will be absolutely no mention of Ninja Space Monkeys, Guido the Pizza God, the US President, or any other fictional characters. That's right--no wackiness here. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for my date with a Pangalactic Gargleblaster down at Alice's Restaurant.
