Ico

I'm planning on buying up as many ICO games as possible. There's a real buzz about these games lately. They are over 60 euro each on ebay.

As there was only a limited few released, these games could be worth a good few yo yo's in a few years.

Am I the only one thinking this?

It's a great game.

I managed to find it in a second hand shop for €14 a few weeks ago. Was delighted. Even has the postcards in it. Box it a bit scruffy and they put a sticker on the back though.

Was thinking of selling it but I might just keep it. Still haven't got around to finishing it

It's hard to explain....it's just really really good. The puzzles are clever, the gameplay is simple and managable, the game is really well designed, but the style of the game is like nothing you see in games. Huge scale areas that look just lovely, very atmosferic....And then there's yorda, she's great. It's the only reason I have a ps2. Great music too.

One of the few games I've ever actually got "lost" in. It's engrossing and kinda sad or something. Over far too fast for my liking though and replay value isn't so good once you know the answers to all the puzzles. Fantastic nonetheless; I got £45 for my copy on ebay after paying only €20 for it ...

Have purchased 6 ICO games all with their art cards (PAL) and 1 American Version. The french versions are (PAL) but they are only selling at a fraction of the price. Any ideas?

Saddle up for the latest info on Sony's "Art House" sequel

This game is due to be released some time next year. And should send demand for ICO up threw the roof.

I just sold my copy of (gathering dust and never playing it) Ico for 55 Euro.

French games can ONLY be played through French*.

I would guess that's why they are so cheap.

*(because of the anti-English language policy they have over there to protect the "uniquness" of their own language)

I see living in France may have its bonuses Might pick myself up a copy.
