Well that's appropriate because your sense of humor is about as well developed and mature as a baby girl.

ICO is more of a pain than anything else... but I guess if you like to put up with days of frustration just to get the girl to listen to you, then fine. :b
Shadow of the Colossus is exceptionally nifty though; most of the titans are an utter pain to figure out how to deal with, and even after you figure it out, they can be a major pain to kill off. Particularly hate the bird titan, thanks to all the swimming I ended up doing. :b
Most of the rest I have save points just before, as it's an awesome game to show off just how cool you are. Always looks like you're just on the brink of getting thrown, and barely manage to pull it off every time... ended up getting applause at one point from a housemate who'd been walking by, but stopped to watch.

The most entertaining and epic game since God of War imo, which I played thru right before picking up Shadow Of the Colossus. Ico is a lost gem as well.
I think my favorite was Colossus 9. It was just such a cinematic battle...No, no, I take the back, my favorite so far is the giant bird. Like, the prelude to the battle, when you haven't done anything yet? It's so dense with...with <u>magic</u>. You swim around, trying to get in a good position, and every time you aim the camera at the Colossus, there it is, just <i>looming</i> over you, wings spread with a stare full of eerie menace. It's not even doing anything, yet it's so terrifying. And then when you're actually on the bird? Oh man. Best roller coaster ride <u>ever</u>.
And the best part, as beautiful as graphics are, is the music. Holy crap, that is some emotionally powerful music.
I read about this but I never got to buy it? How cheap can I get it nowdays? I always knew its a mindblower but never had the money <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad-fix.gif" />
Don't want to say too much to spoil it for anyone not that far though :s
Oh and though you guys probably know; Try getting fruit from trees for an interesting effect. Kill the right kind of lizards and see if they leave anything behind... you may be surprised :3
soooo many white-tailed lizards died. Oh so many... XD

On the day of release I got it for $40, last I saw brand new it goes for $20, used for $15 and $10 sometimes. Its worth more than any of the games released this year, if you ask me.
Aye, this is one of my favourite games also! I bought it at a time when I was thinking "I want to buy a game with huge monsters", and I didn't even <i>know</i> this game existed until ken20banks pointed me in its direction (KFS was playing it at the time!).
It's a shame I don't actually own a PS2. I would play it on my friend's, but I have since moved out of that house. Still, I played it through twice and I'm sure I'll get a chance again some day (hopefully by then I will have forgotten a lot about it).
There are so many good collossi, I don't know if I can choose a favourite. My favourite moment however, was being on the bird's head and killing that symbol, then losing my grip and falling...only to land and grip onto the symbol on his it's (the last one I had to do)! That was an ultra cool moment.

I had a few lovable moments in that game:
The first Colossus was nothing short of Godlike to me. I hadn't had a gaming experience that unique...ever. You don't understand the game very well til you play him either...then it all comes together.
The "Knight" Colossus was amazing too. I fondly remember my "leap of <i>prayer</i>", where I launched off of the back of his neck, fell, holding R1 the whole way- only to BARELY grab the ledge of his belt, pull myself up, and begin finishing him off. This was after I used his chestpiece by timing a jump from his elbow *just* right.
The Bird...I fell off of him only once. But I remember I lost grip in the middle of a right turn, when I was on his right wing- came off- and just barely grabbed his tail with just enough grip to pull myself up.
The two really small ones- the Bull, and the Dog, I guess(the one that was a huge jumping puzzle) were both lots of fun.
The Dragon...that entire thing made me feel, "You deserve to be called a Hero" kind of stuff. Riding alongside the wing on Agro, climbing up the wing, giving the stabs then bailing off the side of the sucker as he launches into the ground- then following him again? Awesomeness.
Oh, and when I showed my roomie the final boss(he doesn't play console games), he said "Thats the best boss ever."

The sky dragon was my favorite, but every single one is just wonderful. I really liked the sea serpent, too.

'Cause its made by Sony in-house?
I loved Ico too. Consider me an art snob.
Dey got comics for <i>all</i> da good games.
