Ico HD

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two critically acclaimed titles designed by Fumito Ueda and released on the Playstation 2, now available as HD re-releases on the PS3, in digital form individually and on disc as a compilation. I've gone into detail about Shadow of the Colossus previously, and now I want to take a look at Ueda's first game. Ico arrived on the PS2 less than a year after its release and was one of the standout titles of its time, and, in an unusual turn, was released in North America before it came out in Japan. Now available in a remastered form, how well does Ico hold up eleven years after its original release?
