Well,

  Silent Hill 2 is niether "silent" or "hilly".

  And Ico hates it when you don\'t capitalize his name.  He will yell "MeeeFleeee"...........this means "***** you *** & ****"

I\'m just typing to keep occupied until I can play these games.;)

Silent Hill 2 doesn\'t ship \'til tomorrow, but I managed to pick-up Ico.

I\'m only 40 min. into the game so my impressions my be a little premature. But so far, the game is just oozing with atmosphere; the lighting, environmental sounds and bizarre "music" create a depth that is  truly fantastic. You get a feeling of how grand the scale of the castle is right from the get-go, and venturing outside and on top of the castle really drives this feeling home. The dark spirirts are more aggressive than in the demo, but at this juncture they still are quite easy to defeat. The puzzles are rather simplistic, but like I said I\'m not that far along so I suspect that they will increase in difficulty.


Look, I\'m not much of a reviewer, and I\'d rather be playing right now so I\'ll leave the in-depth impessions, which will be plentiful and quickly appearing on this forum, to those who have more flare in doing so.


In short: if you liked the demo, you\'ll love the game.

Well considering the recent tightening of the US/Canadian border, it is of no surprise that most of our Dog-sled couriers are taking longer to deliver shipments. Those Husky inspectors have become quite meticulous.

I picked up Ico.  I\'ll get Silent Hill 2 later.  Anyone get Spyhunter?  I want that too but was hoping for some impressions.

I\'ve got Spy Hunter and I\'ve been enjoying it quite a bit.  Has a similar feel to the classic with far more to offer.  I\'m only a few missions in so I can\'t tell you how it stacks up overall, but I\'ve seen it reported around it\'s not terribly long.  Still, I think it\'s a blast and I\'ve actually been going back through some of the early missions just for the hell of it....

I picked up both ICO and Silent Hill 2 earlier today, and spent about half an hour with both.  Obviously, I haven\'t been able to get very far in either of them, so I\'ll hold off on my impressions.  So far, I\'d say both games were well worth the money, and each has seemed to deliver in all aspects.

I\'ve only managed to play ICO for about 40 minutes. I must say that I\'m much more impressed than I\'d thought I be. Mind you, I have never played the demo, so I had no idea what to expect. There\'s something about the game that just grabs me. The feeling of it is surreal. The extra little touches, like the breathing of the boy when he\'s running, adds to the game. Every little shadow, and light effect, also creates the odd mood of this game. I must say I\'m happy with the purchase.
