SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS REVIEW:  It’s impossible to introduce Shadow of the Colossus to anyone without first mentioning its precursor, ICO, the artistic centerpiece of 2001 that displayed the PlayStation 2’s – and Sony’s – ability to bring creative, original projects to life and quietly set them at the forefront of the console gaming arena. For many, ICO remains one of the loveliest puzzle-platformers to have ever graced the industry, combining touching scenes between the two primary characters along with a surreal environment, massive environmental puzzles, and bouts of action in the middle of an otherworldly fairytale that captured the hearts and minds of gamers across the globe.
