Cutting to the chase: I've just spent most of the night EXPERIENCING one of, if not the, most amazing game(s) I've ever had the pleasure of playing. This game is Shadow of the Colossus.
Some of you may have heard me mention how much I enjoyed the demo, but it totally blows away any conception I had previously. Just the sheer beauty, majesty, and magnitude of it...
For those not in the know, the game consists of a man/boy on horseback, who, in an attempt to revive some woman, is charged with slaying colossi. Thematically, it's both straightforward and simplistic; however, conquering each of these giants is an exciting trial precluded by a trek through lush landscape to find your foe.
Okay, sorry...7AM and I'm just really in love with this game. Borrowing it will not suffice; I'm buying it ASAP. And any of you who wish to play or see this masterpiece, let me know. I'd be more than happy to play a little for someone else's benefit.
Awe-inspiring.
