Shadow of the Colossus is the prequel to Ico.

I was more interested in Silent Hill since I really couldn't get into the RE series. I liked how the enemies represented peoples emotions and burdens and enemies of unknown other then lab experiments went wrong or virus infested humenbeings. The whole concept of putting you in quiet erie areas then forcing you to go into areas you don't even want to go in instead of a random zombie popping up at you was a great concept. Thats why I prefer Silent Hill over Resisdent Evil.

Condemned weither you play it on windows or xbox 360 is also a great game that other people should play.

It was either doom or the original sonic the hedgehog, but according to my memory, the first thing I did in response to seeing the games wasn't "WTF is this!?" it was "Whats to attack?".

For sonic the hedgehog someone had to explain that the jump was the attack while on Doom I knew what to do but kept dying due to my young wimpishness.




Also. My first words were: "PRESS A TO JUMP!"
hes a born gamer just like ME!!!!

SH 2 was more lay back and in some ways I like more. In Silent Hill 3 it had more action.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the two games are unrelated story-wise, although they were made by the same developer.

You're talking to Wolfire Forums' (un)official SotC fan, remember… :P

Either that or he's not worthy of the title, if you are indeed correct (Whatever the hell you're talking about).

The developer of SotC has confirmed that it is related to Ico, (I guess this is sort of a spoiler)
the main character of SotC (Wander) is Ico's ancestor.
So it takes place in the same world, before Ico.

Which is why I said it's more of a prequel.

battle moon wars...it's Japanese but you guys gotta play it (and you can just muddle though it like I've been doing with any Japanese game I play...) ...it's the definition of an SRPG (Strategy-Role Playing Game), and it's actaully pretty fun...it's freeware, too. I'll get the link to the Snesorama post that has a patched version of it (meaning when you beat the first, it'll go on to the second and so on and so forth...) and for all those anime lovers, that's the art style...like the majority of today's games from Japan, lol

also, anyone ever heard of Melty Blood? I've never played it and yet it looks like an awesome fighter...Japanese, too, i'm afraid...and you have to buy it or torrent it...I haven't decided which I should choose, haha!
