But I had to cancel it cos getting a GC has gobbled all my money :( There's something about Ico that just makes me love it tho, probably that it is all so consistent. It's kind of the anti-Zelda, one giant single location rather than lots of disparate dungeons, no powerbars, a single weapon can be carried at once, no musical beeps when puzzles are solved. I think this is one of the reasons it's so refreshing. I'd be really interested to know how something like this gets developed, on paper it's so simple, just three characters and one location.
