What's the word on this? I think it looks intriguing. Amazon's got it for sixteen bucks, so I think I'll pick it up soon. Givin' me strong Ico vibes.

Lost in Shadow? I've never heard of this. But I'm still curious as to what's going on with the third Ico game. It's been a while. Do you have some screens of this new game?

:p

I don't usually look into games much. I just do to a point where I'm interested, and then wait for release. Last I heard, The Last Guardian comes out in December.

I've been toying with getting this, as well. But I'm still working on some older Wii games like Dewy's Adventure (surprisingly impressive after a huge learning curve) and don't want to throw around cash at the moment. Anyway, I've read that it's a standout Wii title in the vein of ICO with tons of great ideas, but that it's flawed in execution--a few control hiccups and pacing problems--and can be tedious in some of its puzzles/platforming/length of game. It sounds to me like a diamond in the rough that if you push through it's problems, it's a lot of fun. Nintendo Power gave it an 8.0, but despite their nitpicks, they said the first impression of the game is that it's "brilliant." In due time, I'll pick it up. There is a lot of backlog on Wii I've missed that I'm still working with. I like that the Wii has these quirky themed games that you used to see on the Nintendo 64 (Glover, Bomberman 64, Hybrid Heaven, etc)

I beat the game.  It's really cool.  The light-shadow scenery is pretty great and there are some scary moments.
The ending is very cryptic.  I collected everything in the game.

Do try and be a bit more abnormal as this comes off as being too normal which is just not you  And yeah. those screens just scream ICO. It's as if this were another entry into the series. The environments make it look at home there.

So, I picked this game up, and it's a blast. Really great game design, wonderful atmosphere and visual style. I loooooves it.

Did you get to Floor 16 yet?

That the one with the big shadow monster? Oh, yes. Oh, yes, indeed. :o Kinda scared me a bit. Frantically trying to get over obstacles and that.
