Shadow of the Colossus

*game loads*
*long cutscene starts*
Me: Zzzzzzz.
*long cutscene ends*
Me: Ok, find Colossus, kill Colossus. Simple.
*jumps on horse, holds up sword, follows directions*
Me: Where the hell is the col - ooooh, pretty scenery!
*path ends*
*jumps off horse, struggles to climb walls*
Me: Stupid @#$&^#%$ controls.
*successfully climbs up walls*
Me: What's that stomping sound?
*walks around a bit*
*stomping gets louder*
*ten-storey tall Colossus walks into view*
Me: Meep.
*navigates around Colossus while trying not to get stomped*
Me: How the fuck do I bring this thing down??!
*unsheaths sword and whacks its foot*
Angry Colossus: *STOMP*
Me: EEEEEEKKKK *dies*
*restarts fight*
*charges at foot*
Me: DIEEEEEEEE *SPLAT*
*restarts fight*
Me: *whimper*
*notices mossy growth on one leg*
Me: Ah HAH!
*runs to leg while trying not to get stomped*
*climbs on top of the leg*
Me: WOOT! Err, now what?
*notices glowing blue thing on leg*
Me: Hmmmm....*stabs leg*
*Colossus groans in pain and drops down on one foot*
Me: Ok, now to climb further up!
*climbs further up. Colossus starts getting up and shakes itself, presumely to get rid of me*
Me: Heeelpppp meeeeeeee! @.@
*continues climbing upwards*
Me: So....uh, how am I supposed to get rid of this thing again? And what IS that beeping sound I'm making that coincides with that funny circular thing on the bottom right that keeps getting smaller?
*grip slips*
Me: AIEEEEEEE *STOMP*
*restarts fight*
Me: Idiots COULD have mentioned that the circular thing indicates how long you can hold on to the thing without taking a breather right??!
*climbs up Colossus again*
*notices glowing blue symbol on top of its head*
Me: Could that be.....it MUST be the weak spot I'm looking for!!
*climbs near the symbol*
Mysterious Voice From The Heavens: Stab the symbol on the back of his left leg.
Me: Eh? ...Uh, didn't I get past that part already?
*camera starts panning out*
Me: Wow, what a gorgeous view!! ...Eh, it's kinda high up, isn't it? O.o
*stabs glowing symbol*
*Colossus groans in pain and shakes its head violently*
Me: Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!! O.O *holds on for dear life*
Mysterious Voice From The Heavens: Stab the symbol on the back of his left leg.
Me: I said, I'M PAST THAT PART ALREADY. I'd appreciate some better help, like HELPING ME STAY ON THIS INSANE THING~!!
*stabs Colossus multiple times*
*Colossus finally dies*
Me: Woohoo! Let's do that again~!!

On a more serious note, if Katamari Damacy was the most fun game I have ever played in years, Shadow of the Colossus wins in the most exhilarating category :D So far, I have four Colossi down, twelve more to go, and I can't wait :D

lol, that reminds me of

http://giantology.typepad.com/

One of the giants is found to be a viral advert for SoC. Still the 'evidences' for that giant were kinda cool.
 
Wow, that's a pretty cool marketing campaign. I hear a lot of game companies are creating Alternate Reality games to sell their products now.
 
I don't really know about that but I know that companies are trying to put more product advertisment in games. Not only the billboards but also items in game as well. Hopefully they don't do something like a popup. Imagine enjoying some storyline and then almost reach climax or suspense then the game pauses and one of the aliens come up to you and says "You have been playing for one hour. Thirsty? Drink coke!" Fizzzzzz.....
