ICO Within Ico, the player controls a boy named Ico, cursed by being born with horns on his head, and locked away in a remote empty castle by his village. Ico manages to free himself and comes across a young frail girl, Yorda, who is chased by shadow-like creatures that try to drag her to a different realm. Ico helps Yorda to escape, ultimately discovering that her mother, the Queen that resides in the castle is trying to use Yorda to extend her own life.
SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS Shadow of the Colossus is considered a spiritual sequel to Ico, and later stated by its creator, Fumito Ueda, as a prequel set in the same world as Ico. The player controls a young man named Wander seeking to bring life back to the body of Mono, a woman that he cared for, by completing the task of killing sixteen monolithic beasts that wander the landscape. With his horse Agro, Wander locates each lair and destroys the beasts, slowly being overcome with dark energy, but fueled on by the opportunity to reunite with Mono.

Some of the best games you can possibly own. Masterpieces of gaming art.
Ico might just be the greatest and most beautiful game I've ever played ?_?
Shadow of the Colossus conveys a sense of tone and mood that makes it feel more vital then possible any other game I have played. It has wonderful music and the combat feels tense and rewarding. I like how big Ico feels but the whole game really comes down to one long escort mission. Otherwise, I like how it looks, sounds and mostly how it plays. This version of the two games benefit from their HD polish especially the better frame rate.
