That game is aptly named, Ico. Developed by Team Ico, with legendary director Fumito Ueda at the helm, this was the development house’s first title. […]

I play games for fun, and like any twenty-something man-child, I have very strict perimeters on what ‘fun’ means to me. For example: Free running through renaissance Italy executing middle-class guards for doing their job – fun. Thinking with portals – fun.
