ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection Unboxing October 18, 2011

I know I promised I was going to do a Batman: Arkham City unboxing today for all of you guys, but have you taken a look at just how much Batman: Arkham City content has been posted on this site in the past day or two?  Quite a lot, actually, so I decided to unbox something ELSE that I have been meaning to since this weekend, and that is the ICO and Shadow of the Colossus Collection.

These two games are considered two of the BEST games of the previous console generation, and certainly two of the best games for the Playstation 2.  Unfortunately, as sleeper hits of a previous generation, finding new copies of them can be difficult for people like me who have heard the buzz about them and wanted the opportunity to play the games for the first time.

I know this game is not officially considered a Collector’s Edition, but I do.  It includes special features on the game disc including five behind the scenes documentaries which focus on things like the making of both of the games, and shows a teaser for the next game that the company is working on for the Playstation 3.  It also keeps the extras from the original PS2 releases.  From what I heard it will recognize ICO saves when playing Shadow of the Colossus.

So, check out my unboxing and review!
