As I've mentioned before here, I live in a pretty small town right now (about 7500 people). It's the size of town where you get anything and everything for your everyday life from Walmart. So it was a pretty big deal for me when we opened up a Gamestop last Friday. I immediately took in about 5 or 6 of my less favored games and traded them in and picked up Shadow of the Colossus and Fire Emblem for the Gamecube.

I haven't really even touched Fire Emblem yet. As a matter of fact my Gamecube has been sitting unplugged for the last week so that I could fit my PS2 plug into my power strip. Let me just put it out there: Shadow of the Colossus is AMAZING!

I can't say enough about just how spectacular this game is. The game world is absolutely breathtaking. The soundtrack is phenomenal. The colossi are awe-inspiring. The gameplay captures just about everything I love in a game. Shadow of the Colossus is truly a work of art. I'll have a review up pretty soon here, but you really don't need to read a whole review to know that I highly recommend this game to anyone who owns a PS2. And if you don't own a PS2, Shadow of the Colossus is a dang good reason to pick one up.
