Man Versus Shadow of the Colossus, Part 1

The lumbering beasts from 2005's Shadow of the Colossus still cast a long shadow over Scott Jones' memory. Read on for Part One of his new feature, in which he meets his old foes once again.

I have a confession to make - I have never played this game, but this feature makes me want to. Great stuff.

"then, perhaps as his last will and testament, the poor old Lab pushed out a big, so-long-cruel-world turd."

Jesus Christ, Scott! BigGrin

Well, since I just started playing it this year, I'm looking forward to seeing whether the game stands up to being "spoiled" by Scott's feature. (My guess is "yes."Wink

Scott has a thing for fecal matter. I think Freud talked about it. Scott is the poopoo poster boy.

I'm ashamed to admit I never finished the game either. This may be the excuse I needed. Can we all watch Reign Over Me afterwards and have a big group hug?

Really?
You guys never finished this? And you guys call yourselves video games as art critics?

You white washed sepulchers.

Scott, please tell us your thoughts on the last level as it compares to the rest of the levels. I never felt like the last boss fit in the game.

I not only never finished it, I never even played it. The PS2 was a box of ass!

I never played it, either. I hate boss battles, so a game of just boss battles didn't appeal. I had also mothballed my PS2 by the time the game came out.

It was far from a "box of ass", though. I had just moved on to newer technology.

How can you like video games and not like boss battles?? That's like liking to play football but then hating scoring a touchdown. You sir, are ridiculous.

I mainly got a PS2 to play this game (and replay Katamari Damacy), so there.

Also, I would think of them more as boss "fuzzy friendship rituals" than boss battles per se.

I'm not a masochist. I like making progress in a game, not repeating the same damn thing over and over because of a sudden steep increase in difficulty level.

That's the beauty of the game though. All bosses, no filler.

I've played through it, and all the pee and poop jokes really make me want to go through it again! Thanks, Scott!

The Games That Time Forgot

The Games That Time Forgot


The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
