System: Playstation 2
Genre: Action

Words like "breathtaking", "jawdropping", "incredible" and "stunning" are often bandied about without really meaning anything but their use to describe Shadow of the Colossus is totally justified. The "David vs Goliath" battles with the 16 massive Colossi are some of the most exciting moments I've ever had in my game-playing life. It also manages to be quite an emotional and morally troubling game despite the almost complete lack of dialogue. I definitely need to replay this now that I have a bigger tv.
