# Ooooh I've not heard of this one *lives in a cave*
What platforms does it come on?

# I shall think about doing so

# No idea :(
BUT.. BUT.. SOTC IS LOVELY.

I did this mrpineapple.co.uk/files/sotcwip.jpg

But never finished it, because the game was THAT lovely.

# That's very pretty....

# The game is absolutely stunning.
It quickly became one of my favourite games before I'd even played it.

It was ages (probably about 2 years from hearing about it, I don't remember) before I even saw it in a shop, and HAD to get it.

FFS.

# It'll never be as good as Vice City.

# Vice City was awesome.
I still preferred SA though.

# I think SOTC, Okami and Katamari Damarcy are must haves on the PS2
Although the latter two are nowhere in the same realm as SOTC but are still amazing games nonetheless.

And Monster Hunter, because it was briliant swinging a giant warhammer into a dragon's face.

# PS2.
You've heard of Ico, though, haven't you?
(I helped save b3ta! JollyJack - a stench from the past, Fri 14 Mar 2008, 15:22, archived)
# Aye.
I got a copy of it, and then promptly got very distracted by one of the tomb raiders as it didn't come with the book and I got a bit bored in that big room.

I might give it another go.

# no.
My flatmate has a PS3 which backwards compatibles most things. How much would a second hand copy of this gem cost me?

I've largely loved games that are pretty as well as fun (see: Beyond good and evil)

# Heavenly Sword.
It lasts 3 seconds, everyone's got an annoying name and my favourite bit of it has the arguably worst name of all: twing twang. But I do so LOVE to play twing-bloody-twang.

# at the moment I'm enjoying
Stalker: shadow of chernobyl.

It is ace and also woo.

Pretty, in a sparse way, immersive, lovingly made. Top game so far.

The beginning, if you play on a non-pussy difficulty level, is rat-bastard hard though.

# That's my best mate's favourite comic, is rat bastard.
Is this a spy stealthy guns game? If it is my OTHER male close friend will no doubt buy it soon.

# more like
a first-person perspective fallout, with less humour.

You wake up in the area around the ruis of chernobyl in an alternate present where there were TWO unrequested fission surplusses, and now weird shit goes on there. You have to go do standard RPG fare (bring me stuff, kill this animal) to get better stuff and work your way towards the heart of the contaminated Zone and find out what the fuck's up. There are bandits and mutants and wild animals but most of the time there's just you and the environment.

The blasted buildings and associated bits and bobs are brilliantly put together and beautifully rendered, very evocative of abandonment.

there's quite a strong fan community who have modded it many ways, including making a kind of free-roaming, storyless version.

I'm just really liking the feel of it really.

# Ooooh that does sound good.
I might have to grab it on payday- thanks for the tip!

# I got a copy of ICO
for about £5 + p&p from ebay last year. It is very lovely but the female companion is a bit annoying and clingey (and you can't get rid of her).

# I fucking love this game :)
I've not played Ico yet.

But outrunning the tentacles is totally the best part.

# Good luck...
16 total, not to mention that you unlock hard mode, and time attack, then get unlockables from the time attack runs...

If you get into it like I did, you'll be dead before you complete it properly :D

# damn, I suppose I'd better get back into it then.
I always try to spread my gaming out, so I play at the same time over a long period!

# You missed out the
"spend fucking hours hunting lizards" step.

Or was that just the person I was playing the game with at the time?

Nonetheless; beautiful game.
