Shadow of the Colossus Preview

Shadow of the Colossus, the spiritual sequel to the incomparable Ico, is being previewed on Gamespot this weekend. From the article: "Shadow of the Colossus' story features the same timeless fairy-tale quality as ICO, albeit with a more mature theme. The story here is essentially one of love. You're cast as a nameless hero on a quest to save a loved one, and your journey will take you to an ancient temple where you discover the power to save your love's spirit. However, in order to unlock this power, you must obtain the essence of 16 colossi, mountainous gargantuan beasts that roam the land. How can a man who's about the size of an ant next to these beasts do such a thing armed with only a sword and a bow and arrow? That's for you to find out."

He could try a sling.

Yeah, that works some of the time, but then whenever you go to the future by pulling out the Master Sword in the Temple of Time, you lose the ability to use the sling and must use a bow & arrow instead.

Go for the eyes, Boo! Go for the eyes!

It's one of the few games that I cried while playing.
