I got it for my brother for christmas. Hes into Zelda games, so I think that it will be right up his alley.

May I point out that this emulator was abandoned during the beta-test and never reached a final version? I didn't manage to make it work.

As for Ico, guys, when I look at Jade and at Ico, I know that the game is different and interesting. But the average gamer doesn't think in this way.

I don't know if the princess is blind - that's a very, very good theory, but she is able to follow you through some long and complex level geometry which kind of creates contradiction.

It's certain that she's from another world, and she's been locked for a long time. I'd like to discuss the pre-final battle and the great finale, there are so many hidden and emotional things in them, but that would mean heavy, heavy spoilers.

Yes, it's a pity that Sebastian hasn't worked on LBAWin since 2003. I did get mine to work, however. Had a nasty "No CD" error, but I managed to get around it.

There's still a small possibility I might play Ico and Shadow one day. After so many years, I've found a handful (4-5) PS2 exclusive titles that appear to be worth my time. Maybe, just maybe I might get the system one day.


I'm still waiting for the PS2 Emulator to come around :-)

Me too, buddy... I believe that every game should have a "universal" PC version or should be emulated. Great titles are lost only because of their "console exclusiveness".

You're probably right about that, just look at Ico.

Man, I've got to get Ico. I know it's going to be a very challenging game, but truth be told, I'm ready for a game so difficult it makes me want to quit. It seems like it's been awhile since a game truly challenged me, especially mentally. I should pick it up after the holidays once I get back to school.

Ico has some challenging moments. The puzzles vary from easy to diabolical. It's not hard or hopeless all of the time and it motivates you to keep going. Half of the time the game is almost intuitive (not so intuitive as the prince, though!) Its general difficulty can be compared to the "difficulty" of the Slaughterhouse in BG&E, where most of the people get stuck (because they don't think how their new weapon functions or where the **** fuses were).

I also got Shadow when it got released and was equally impressed. It's such an amazing game! It's not as mainstream as God of War so I don't think it will be very popular but that means nothing. The game is amazing! I just ordered Ico, so I might get it next week . I'm excited!!

I finaly bought Ico today, found it for 15 dollars at Walmart. I have to say, it's everything I expected, the game is sweet! It has that oh-so-great attention to the most finite details, sharing that quality with Shadow. The whole premise of leading Yorda around by the hand - sooooo cool. It's so unique, original, and you feel important. You start to care about her, and you really just want to help her out. The game is really making me think, it's exactly what I was looking for. I played for only about an hour and a half today, but I've loved evey bit of it. (I mastered the chandelier puzzle, it was tough, but not too horribly bad.) I'm looking forward to putting some solid time into this game.

Okay, Lynx, you spurred me to finally order ICO. It has been on my list for ages. I found it for $19.99 online + shipping = $29.99 (using Froogle). You lucked into a deal at Wal-Mart. Didn't I read somewhere it is to be re-released? Anyway, looking forward to sharing your experience on this now rare game.

I got Ico for Christmas. \m/ And it's super awesome, because my parents usually spend more than that for me, so they got me Katamari Damacy too. I'M HAPPY!

I haven't beat Ico yet, but holy cow what an amazing game.

Oh, and I bought the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack from play-asia.com. It's absolutely frigging amazing. Wow.

I acquired Ico this week. I haven't had much time to play it but so far, it's awesome. The puzzles are the best since you actually have to think to solve them. I've always liked that from the Prince of Persia series, that they make you think.

Go Shadow and ICO!

Awesome! Everyone's playing Ico right now, and I bet we're some of the few out there playing this game, it is quite hard to come by these days, and will become a more rare game as time goes on. I don't know about you guys, but with an impending re-release, it feels great to have an original copy in my hands.

Ownage!

Sometimes, being a Gamecube owner doesn't look as heavenly as it normally does...
