Sony announces ICO for release this summer !
« on: June 05, 2001, 07:30:35 AM »
Sony Computer Entertainment America announced today the Summer 2001 release of ICO, a unique, heroic adventure available exclusively for PlayStation 2. Taking advantage of the technological capabilities of the PlayStation 2, ICO will astound gamers of all ages with its beautiful graphics, immersive storyline and a complementary blend of adventure, role-playing, fighting, puzzle and strategy elements.

The heroic adventure of ICO will captivate players as they wander into a mysterious forgotten world. In this mythical land, every generation a young boy is born with horns and traditionally sacrificed to help cleanse the community of evil spirits. Ico, this generation\'s boy born with horns, is consequently kidnapped from his village and taken to an isolated castle where he is placed in a tomb to be sacrificed. Surrounded by solitude, Ico begins to rock the tomb, causing it to tumble and break open, freeing him on the floor below. In the fall, Ico is knocked unconscious and dreams of a young princess trapped inside the castle, calling out to him to rescue her. Ico awakens, and is astonished to find out his dream has become a reality. Realizing his fate, Ico sets off to save the princess, as well as himself, from the wicked queen and the evil spirits that reside within the castle...

The story sounds pretty interesting, might hafta add this one to my list...
For every fanboy there is an equal and opposite fanboy.

To err is human, to belabor the point to no end and deny any semblance of common sense or logic is the demesnes of the fanboy!
