RE: Shadow of the Colossus: Best Games Ever Made Vol. 10
Absolute classic! One of my favourite games - I actually enjoyed it more than Ico. It's so simple and beautiful and dark. Someone I know was actually tasked with turning this into a film, but don't think it ever happened.
Mm. It's hard for me to imagine someone who wasn't super artistic and avant garde pulling a film off. To be honest my heart is tugged between Ico and Shadow. I defenitely have to say that Shadow feels a little less rough and is much more streamlined. And it's simplicity does lend it a certain elegance and artistic charm that Ico doesn't have.
I could imagine it being very difficult to turn into a film, simply because of the scale. In gameplay, it's great, but getting cinematic shots like that of giant monsters may not be as thrilling to someone in a theater, especially with no voice acting, to top it off.
