You know, there's one thing about Shadow of the Colossus that I really hate... and it's that, having experienced it's wonder, pratically every other adventure game I play now feels like an incredibly dull experience. They lack something that SoTC just got... so damn right.

The scale of the whole damn thing. The desolute beauty of the world map... I've never seen empty space portrayed in such a glorious manner before. The poignant story telling. The pure uniqueness of the whol experience! The fights with the colossi, and the pure, epic (and sometimes hard to fathom) scale of them!

"I'm not actually flying on the back of this thing, am I?!"
"He didn't just throw me half a mile across the scenery, did he?!"
"Stay still, doggie!"

It's such an andrenalin rush when you're actually fighting them Yet when you finally strike that killing blow, it's hard not to feel like you're doing something terribly, horribly wrong...

I could talk about this for hours... I'll add more of my thoughts later!
