What exactly is this game? Everyone says its an awesome game. I have never heard of this game or heard much about it. Gimme feedback please.First of all, it's a game that Des doesn't have.No but seriously, it's an awesome adventure game where you play the role of a boy with horns who is brought to a mysterious place where he is imprisoned to be sacrificed. In his imprisonment, he finds out that all boys with horns are being sacrificed for the evil witch of the caste that he is captive in. He manages to break free and finds a ghostly-like girl named Yorda that is also supposed to be sacrificed. The game begins as you and Yorda have to find a way out of the castle and avoid the shadow beings that attempt to take Yorda back to captivity.First of all, the game screen is totally clear. No health bars, no points, nothing. The only way you can die is from taking a long fall off a cliff or something. This is because the shadow beings that you actually fight aren't after you as much as they are after Yorda. If they manage to take her into one of thier portals, the game is over. There's a few different weapons that the boy uses, including a stick (which can be lit on fire), a sword, and even a mace (which owns, but it's a secret weapon). Since Yorda is a very fragile girl, you have to help her scale walls and solve puzzles so she can follow you around and (hopefully) out of the castle.The game has beautiful graphics (despite being years old now) and a soundtrack that totally fits the mood. The only thing about ICO is that it sold very poorly here in the States. Really poorly. So as a consequence, the game is really hard to find these days. If you plan to pick it up, eBay is probably one of your only options, like Des is doing.I picked it up a few months after it came out and the price was already dropped by then. It was never made a Greatest Hit. :P

I absolutely love this game. It's definitely one of the best games I've ever played. The whole atmosphere is just soo awesome. I really should go through it a second time, since I have the translations to the queen and Yorda's conversations and all :o
