Shadow of the Colossus breaks the mould in terms of the genre with a lack of towns and even general interaction. With an ancient sword in your possession you attempt to defeat the sixteen idols so that the maiden Mono can have her soul placed back into her body. You play as Wander who travels into this realm with his horse Argo. This area is void of people although several ruins do suggest there once was life here. The game is set in a strange fantasy world known only as the ForbiddenLand. Originally launching in 2005 for the PlayStation 2 the game was re-released with Ico in a bundled HD version for PS3 in 2011. Shadow of the Colossus will take you on an action adventure in a game world that is linked to that of Ico (a previous game from the same developer).
