Among all the enhancements and overhauls that were a part of the Shadow of the Colossus remake, there was one fairly substantial secret addition. There's a new collectible, something that fans have taken to calling "enlightenments" or ...

Shadow of the Colossus is a timeless masterpiece. Some of the greatest games exist as the best representatives of an era or a genre. They were groundbreaking and influential in ways that guided and evolved future game design. They're r...

The PlayStation 4 version of Shadow of the Colossus will release tomorrow, and we've already told you it's a fantastic remake of an incredible game. For some people, it will represent their third opportunity to happily play through thi...

The Shadow of the Colossus remake is nearly upon us, so Sony is amping up the hype train by taking us behind the scenes with Bluepoint Studios' work. While each video is short, you do get to understand how Bluepoint approached the project a...

Creating memorabilia for Shadow of the Colossus has to be something of a double-edged sword. On one hand, there's no shortage of awe-inspiring material to draw from. On the other, Shadow of the Colossus is so revered anything payi...

Built-in capturing and streaming and photo modes continue to be a highlight for me this console generation. Some games benefit from the latter more than others and I'd say Bluepoint's Shadow of the Colossus remake for PlayStation 4 definite...

If you haven't been keeping up with Fumito Ueda, he's been a pretty busy man. Over the course of a decade and a half he directed Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, a pedigree worth retiring over. He's still at it though, an...

Team ICO's 2005 classic Shadow of the Colossus is getting a full remake for PS4 next year. Sony Japan's executive producer, Yasutaka Asakura, took to the PlayStation Blog to reveal a comparison video, showing off the hard work thus far.The ...

Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games I can play again and again, even on its original platform. It still holds up despite the fact that it's on the PS2, not to mention the 2011 PS3 HD version, or the upcoming 2018 PS4 edition. Oh sp...

The wait was excruciating, but it seems to have paid off for Sony's Japan Studio. The Last Guardian has sold better than both Ico and Shadow of the Colossus did on launch in the UK, but its performance hasn't placed it at number one. Losing...

When rumours first started surfacing about the prospect of a new and more powerful PlayStation 4 console, I couldn't help but be a little concerned. Despite the fact that this is a tactic that's been employed by Nintendo in the past with bo...

How do you really prepare for a review for The Last Guardian? You can't. I mean, you can try. I replayed ICO and Shadow of the Colossus once Guardian had a firm, really real release date, to try to have a fresh frame of reference,...

The Last Guardian has had one of the most tumultuous development cycles in recent memory. It started development in 2007 before its announcement as a PlayStation 3 title at E3 in 2009. It was delayed repeatedly before shifting to ...

This isn't spoilers for me, because I've already played through this bit, but this Japanese The Last Guardian promotional trailer condenses (quite a bit!) the intro into about six minutes, then includes some extra cool shit with evil terra...

[Mid-game spoiler warning for Ico. If you haven't played it yet I suggest you skip the next three paragraphs, past the first image so as not to ruin a great moment.] Everyone talks about how moving the endings of both Ico and Shadow o...

The Last Guardian has been a running joke for the last five or so years. Team ICO announced the title in 2009 and the game vanished more than a few times since. People began to wonder if we would ever see the title, which then resurfaced at...

Art dealer Cook & Becker has come out with a pair of licensed giclee prints -- one for Ico, the other for Shadow of the Colossus, both excellent. Can you spare $95? Your wall will be better off for it. The Ico print (40 by 34 cm) is of ...

Shadow of the Colossus is one of those games that we'll be telling our kids about. Or if you already have kids, a game that you'll show them as "required reading" one day. It's so universally loved that it's cliche to even talk about it, bu...

The years-long layup leading up to The Last Guardian's release has been, Oh I just fucking know the cute dog/bird/animal thing is going to die. The death of a beloved animal pal is an easy emotional trigger that can easily backfire if done ...

It's not just Gravity Rush 2. IGN has (part one of!) another exclusive to end this week, this time the fabled The Last Guardian which is certainly, definitely coming out this year. It's hands-on with the first 45 minutes, mind, and doesn't...

Sony gave us a look at the long-awaited The Last Guardian at E3 -- just enough to whet our appetite. Confirming that "Yes, it definitely still exists," we were shown seven minutes of boy palling around with bird-dog-thing. It wasn't me...

After The Last Gaurdian's modest resurrection at E3 2015, quiet. Understandably, some people are unsure about the veracity of the thing, strung along for so long. Team ICO's new company, Gen Design, tweeted about the PS4 game's presence at...

Sony has been worryingly quiet about The Last Guardian since E3. It wasn’t at gamescom, it wasn’t at PAX, and it hasn’t been announced for EGX. But then Fumito Ueda’s studio genDESIGN descended from the sky to rally ...

Video game writing is so bad, guys. I mean, most writing is bad. Most books are bad, most movies are bad, most television shows are bad, this article is bad. That's just how it goes. But games have a long history of not even hiring writers,...

Ah, so here's a thing. Director Fumito Ueda just gave an interview with Game Informer where he put the delay on "a corporate decision by Sony" and not just technical issues. "There are always delays in production, as you know. Technical bei...
