Created by the brilliant Team ICO, under direction of Fumito Ueda, Shadow of the Colossus is the worthy sequal (or prequal, however you want to interprete the timeline) to ICO, an underrated masterpiece of a videogame released for the PS2 back in 2001.
Shadow of the Colossus is set in the ICO universe, an undetermined number of years before the events of ICO itself, and features a lone warrior (Wander), his trusty steed (Agro),recently deceased girlfriend (Mono) and 16 mysterious beasts (Colossi). These, for the vast majority of the game, are the only characters involved. The story is the simplest of tales of love: Wander is tasked with the slaying of all 16 colossi (with just a sword, bow and arrows) in order to bring his girlfriend back to life.
Shadow of the Colossus is a testament to the brilliance of Fumito Ueda and Team ICO, turning such a simple premise into one of the greatest videogames of all time, and the game oozes the jaw-dropping artistic direction that only Fumito Ueda can produce.
This game is at once epic, haunting and lonely. A masterpiece that should be enjoyed by all people of all backgrounds.
As a side note, Shadow of the Colossus sold significantly more copies than ICO because of the increased emphasis on violence, however somehow I think Rockstar will sleep easy tonight.
Boy: Hey, what game is that?
Gamer: Shadow of the Colossus.
Boy: It looks amazing, with an unrivalled art direction and real sense of loneliness to the landscape. The sound effects are haunting and the emotive architechture is a really subtle touch. You really made a good investment with this game!
Gamer: ....I only bought it because the box was made out of cardboard...

A series of games developed by Sacnoth and released by Midway Games Ltd.
The first game was made on Playstation 1 and was named Koudelka, set in 1898.
Shadow Hearts was then set alot later in late 1913 in japan, the main character named Yuri Hyuga who is a Harmonixer and has the ability to "Morph" into different monsters that are based on six elements: Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, Ligh and Dark.
Yuri encounters a young european girl named Alice Elliot, on a trans-siberian railroad train, where a man named Roger Bacon attempts to kidnap her. Yuri comes to her rescue and is drawn into a deep and dark plot, involving his father who died while he was younger. Yuri and Alice become close, and they travel around the world with many companions to find out the truth behind Roger Bacons intent and to save the world.
Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant is set some time after Shadow Hearts, after Alice has died from the end of the first game and Yuri is living in Domremy, helping to defend it against the German army, as the game is set in world war 1. Yuri is troubled by his loss of Alice and sets out to try and bring her back from the dead with the aid of an ancient book. Yuri and his many companions that he gains along the way, get entangled in a dark plot, involving the Vatican, the Romanovs(Tsar, Russian royal family) and even Rasputin himself. Although these people actually existed, the events that happen during the game are not related to true events.
Many characters from the first Shadow Hearts make an appearance, either aiding, or trying to destroy, Yuri and his friends.
Both Shadow Hearts and Shadow Hearts 2: Covenant use turn based RPG style battle styles. Attacks and abilities etc. success is dependant on the Judgment Ring, a ring that appears with highlighted sections and a swinging arm that rotates around the ring, the aim is to "hit" the ares which are highlighted, depending on how accurate you do this depends on the damage and effect of the ability etc.
There are many status effects which change the judgment ring, such as making the arm swing faster, making it harder to hit areas. Or making the ring smaller, also making it harder to hit the required areas.
Both games have deep, dark storylines and music. The characters are unique and interesting, some more evil and twisted then others. The areas that Yuri and co. visit are all beautifully designed.
Both games have a long life, and there are many submissions to be done on both, including obtaining ultimate weapons and armor.
This game is a good game for any RPG supporters, especially those that enjoy darker storylines and more mature gameplay and characters.

A butterfly obsessed villain who was rejected by Marvel and Disney because of his Utterly Ridiculous costume,which was neither a Coat nor a Frock.
His previous obsession for butterflies didn't do any good so he has now started to collect feathers, which he calls amoks,...
and he uses them to make a 'sayonara' fan...
He used innocent butterflies to akumatize people and now in addition to this... He uses those beautiful "blue" feathers to evilize OBJECTS.
Hawk moth has merged the butterfly and peacock miraculous and has become SHADOW MOTH!
When overweight people have excess skin AKA "flab" it casts a shadow when it is sunny out. This "flab shadow" usually prevents sunburn to the area inside the flab shadow.
Woah! Ronny is burned all over except where his flab shadow was!
Shadow balling is when you're on some online chat service, such as, teamspeak or ventrilo, and you silently jack off without muting yourself.
Dude you haven't said anything over teamspeak for a while. Are you shadow balling?
