Shadow of the Colossus: first reviews
I was pleasantly suprised yesterday when Dylan informed me that he'd got hold of a (somewhat short) demo of Ico 2. Sorry, Wanda and the Colossus. Wait, no. Shadow of the Colossus.
The first reviews are appearing, and for the good of gamers everywhere, its looking darn impressive. According to sites like IGN and Game Informer, its "... an absolute must-play experience", "one of the most important games you'll come across anytime soon", "a truly unique experience" and even "a true work of art, the likes of which we've only seen approached by a very, very small number of games".

At last...
...I have this game! Us UK gamers don't half suffer a nasty waiting game. I also have to suffer my mate completing the game months and months before I get to even try it properly (he has a chipped PS2).
Anyways, I bought it on the day of UK release. Then my PS2 died. Its currently in pieces, but is possibly fixable. Its a common problem and I found plenty of sites with repair information. I can adjust the angle of the laser to one setting for old purple CDs, or another for DVDs, but as soon as I play a game which hammers the disc, like the magnificent Black, it starts whirring and chugging once more. Ho hum.
