Have you heard of Ico on the PS2?
Posted: 10 Jul 2004, 11:06
Two years ago, a game called Ico was released for the PlayStation 2. Despite being under-publicised and poor sales, the game was critically acclaimed and is now seen by many as the greatest PlayStation 2 game ever.
What's particularly interesting is that the game seems to have been inspired by Knightmare. You guide a small boy around castle, solving puzzles — the boy is even wearing a helmet that looks exactly like the Helmet of Justice!
There's also rumoured to be a "Knightmare mode" that you get when you've completed the game, although I can't confirm this.
If you happen to own a PS2, and you like Knightmare, then you HAVE to own this game!
Here are some screenshots: (plenty more on Google)

A review I found explaining why the game is so great:

Just thought I'd mention this as I couldn't find any reference to it on here. Sorry if you already knew about it!
