For those of you who have not played Ico, it is similar to some of the recent games, as of the time of this review, such as Journey or Dream. It has a very lonely sort of feel to it, even though you are constantly trying to protect the glowing girl. The ambiance is not depressing, though. It lends itself very well to the game, which is mainly a puzzle game with combat elements thrown in.
Shadow of the Colossus is quite different, as it is much more of an action game. Shadow of the Colossus is one of the few games that pushes the PS3 to its limits, and it is obvious when looking at the impressive viewing range, level of detail, and fluidity during battle with the Colossi. I really enjoy the fact that the developers made both games very different. You are a bit taken aback at first when starting Shadow of the Colossus, but quickly get into the action. The stories of both of these games are excellent. All I can say is these are a worthy couple of games to add to your PS3 remastered collection.

ICO and Shadow of Colossus were some of the most memorable, yet somewhat hauntingly beautiful, games for the PS2 and are currently ranked as some of the best games for the console. Now, you are able to enjoy the same scenarios, situations, and story line, but with new, remastered images set for the PS3. Great games to enjoy and at a great price. Wonderful collection!

True of both the originals and the HD remaster, these two games are such rare gems. Even although they come from the PS2 era, they both hold up very well even when compared to current genration games.

ICO and Shadoe of the Colossus are Play Station 2 Classics! This bundle is a must own for any Playstion 3 owner. 2 games for 20 dollars is a steal.

Having 2 games on 1 disc is totally great. These are remastered versions of amazing PS2 games as well as PS3 themes and it also has a behind the scenes look of The Last Guardian on it. After almost 10 years in development, The Last Guardian is finally coming out October 2016!

These games, while short are two classics from PS2. Now you can play them on your PS3. Slightly updated graphics with 3d. What's not to love?

I've never played these two gems before but I'm glad I picked this up as they are two of the best video game experiences that I've played. This was the last copy at the store that I picked it up in so it is getting rare but if you can find a copy, do yourself a favor and pick this up.

These 2 games are great. They are remasters of 2 PS2 games, even in 3D if you can tolerate it. "ICO" is an adventure game with about 100 great puzzles. "SofC" is 15 boss fights with exploration in between. I won't ruin how they are realted, but they are from the same Universe.

This is a great purchase for those of us who played one or both of these games in the last generation who want to experience the amazing narrative again with HD graphics. Also great for those who missed out on the last generation. Two of the best games from the PS2.

ICO was an interesting experience. Kinda short and not challenging at all with easy puzzles. Three stars.
SotC, in the other hand, loved the game, very well thought, some challenge figuring out how to eliminate the colossi. Five stars.

I haven't really tried Ico yet, but Shadow is one of the best games I've ever played! With everything being a FPS these days, a game like this is a great thing to have around.

Sony has brought two of Team Ico classics from the PlayStation 2 to the PlayStation 3...remastered in high def. This is a must play for any gamer and are the first two titles in Fumito Ueda-san's iconic universe.
