After 2½ hours of Ico gameplay I must say that I'm more stunned of this game than before. Since I have a lot of things to do nowadays I can't focus 50% of my time on gaming, like I used to. That is both frustrating and in one way, good. But ever since I started to play Ico, I haven't been able to forget about the game. When I sit by the computer, mailing etc I tend to look at the Playstation and think "Man I wish I could play Ico right now". But I try not to overplay it, since I want it to last.

In my opinion the best thing with Ico is it's atmosphere. Even though the graphics aren't as impressing as they were when the game was released, they are still beautiful. I like the foginess of the game aswell (kind of reminds me of Silent Hill a little).

One other really groundbreaking and cool thing that came with this game, is how the characters behave with each other. For example, the whole holding hands thing. I can't say that I've ever seen that in a video game before. And then there's the thing where the main character help Yorda up on crates etc. He's reaching he's hand out shouting "Opa" to her, and she's grabbing his hand and he pulls her up. Surely that has been in games before, but it's different here, somehow the characters in Ico feels more alive than in other games.
