ICO has very few parts that could justifiably be called puzzles. It's almost completely straight-up platforming.

Does anybody have a link that can show me the Japanese/European cover art?

Here. And for comparison, here's some of Giorgio de Chirico's artwork.

Thanks this computer is being stupid so I'll look at it later and you're right about the platforming but I found quite a bit of puzzles myself but I haven't played it in a long while and I have a bad memory so I may be wrong. My brother wouldn't try it no matter what xD he also hates it because Ico says "oompa" like a Oompa Loompa xD Thats really dumb :rolleyes2

Your brother is generally dumb for disliking ICO

Thats what I tell him I might understand if he actually played it and he told me why nut he has no reason except the diffrent langauge and the stupid line on the back I wish he would play it at least

I'm really looking forward to the game.

Of course, i have my concerns (like how theres NO enemies except bosses), but I'm sure they will go away once i finally play it.

Anybody know of a release date yet?

Apparently, October 18 in America and October 27 in Japan.

Awesome. Should make a good birthday present.

ICO was a beautiful game and is one of my favorite games of all time. I can't wait to see what the producers pull off this time. The screenshots I've seen of the game look absolutely gorgeous and the gameplay, while non-traditional sounds interesting. I can't wait for October 18th.

What? What's wrong with this?

It only looks like a 50 year old male battling for the future of techno Hawaii with his trusty .45!

And what's wrong with the cover of Mega Man 2?

Our 50 year old hero is back in action to save Santa from boomerang head guy and drill dude!

Now here is where it gets better.

A prequel to the original Mega Man and Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3 chronicles the adventure of our 50 year old hero when he was still in 4th grade...and had a robot crotch shooting fetish!

Oh, and Shadow of the Colossus should be pretty cool.

All of those remind me of the Mega Shows.

STATE-OF-THE-ART

ONE MEGABIT MEMORY

Most of the American cover art for Mega Man (post MM2 but pre-anime stuff) still have him looking like a garden gnome.

**Rengori** · 08-17-2005, 03:04 PM

I remember Megaman 5 had him looking... what's the word, NORMAL! But the Japanese always get the better cover art.
