Greetings,

I hope I am sending to the right email alias.

I have lurked on this mailing list for years, but decided to speak up about
the mention of Ico.

To me, that game restored my faith in my PS2, up until then the titles were
good and fun for the most part(Summoner comes to mind), but nothing was as
straight *beautiful* and *compelling* as Ico. My Wife (who is not a gamer)
would just sit and watch me play to see what happened.

It seems that these lines of topic always turns into a discussion of current
RPGS, MMORPGS, and the like, but I had to add my two cents.

Also, if you just want a good fun romp, look at Kingdom Hearts. Square (the
Final Fantasy series people) teamed up with Disney (!!) to create something
unique that was totally worth the money.

Take care

Matt
