holy crap

I got two new games today: Eternal Sonata and Shadow of the Colossus. OK so not new in the sense that they were recently released, but new to me. Both I've been wanting to try out for a while actually, the idea of a rpg designed around a classical music composer sounded like a blast, and colossus just looked like a pretty intriguing concept. Suffice to say the only thing I'm finding enjoyable in sonata is the option to listen to Chopin pieces, and Colossus may very well be the best game I've ever played. Hyperbole, maybe, but I've only killed 4 of the suckers and I am just in complete awe of the game. Incredibly simple concept, yet the depth of the game continues to surprise me. Environments are incredible, the controls fit the game perfectly, the character design for the hero (certain clumsiness, yet portrays this odd sense of determination) is probably my favorite part of the game so far, and the colossi themselves are just magnificent. I do not know why I never picked this game up earlier, but hell am I glad I finally did today.
