Incredible atmosphere. Groundbreaking, not quite like anything else until its release. A critically important game for both video game history and its era. It defines the early PS2 days and had massive influence on the medium as a whole. This would be a fantastic title to see on PC, restored, and maintained. Today, it is basically stuck on PS2 and a PS3 HD re-release. ICO deserves to be remembered and cherished.

I always wanted to play ICO but I could never get my hands on it, so i had to make do with watch other peoples playthroughs online. I once found someone's college level essay (on this game) online. It was quite the read.

A fantastic game, with great atmosphere. Unfortunately, it has never been release anywhere except ps2 and ps3. I'm not sure what I hoping for voting for this game here, but who knows, maybe a pc port couple of decades lates is still possible. Could you change the game box art from US version to Japanese one, please?

Black & White 2

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
