So, little folk, inform me. I've seen pictures, videos and a few reviews. But I'm still none the wiser as to what you do.

I've bidded on a copy on eBay under recommendations alone. Anyone care to elaborate on the actual game?

Guide a girl around a castle looking to escape, while fighting loads of black powdery demon wraiths and solving puzzles.

Anything super-special, or is it just 'one of those magic games' ?

Nice atmospheric sound effects. Though I found it tranquil and subsequently felt sleepy after playing for a while.

It also gets frustating, the puzzles - it's one thing working out what to do (the fun part), another thing atually doing them. See my review at:

And you can get a lightsabre. This alone is a reason for purchase.

It's the feel of the game more than anything which makes it soo damn good. Although it's way too short.

The controls rock, you can have a lot of fun just running around with Ico.

And the combat is very interesting as they're attacking Yorda (the girl) and not you - the one with the weapon. So you can even use her as bait and things like that.
And the scary monsters are very cool.

And the whole thing looks way too good.

Wonderful

That brings back fond memories - not just of the game, but reviewing! I might write some soon after I do a lot of work on other projects.
