Anyone who's ever played the vastly-underexposed PS/2 game, Ico, knows what a masterpiece it is. It's a puzzle-adventure game about a young boy trying to find his way out of imprisonment within a large, complex structure. The environment is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, the puzzles are often wonderfully elaborate, and the game won Vicki and I over completely several years ago. Unfortunately, I had borrowed it from McChicken at that time and could never find a copy again when we wanted to replay it last year (McC had given his away).
Now comes confirmation that it's been ported to the PS/3 and will be re-released next Spring (along with Shadow of the Colossus, by the same studio). I can't wait to get my hands (back) on Ico, especially with updated graphics! It'll have been long enough by then that neither of us will likely remember many of the solutions within the game, which should make it a joy to experience, all over again!
