Shadow of the Colossus falling back in Japan

According the latest issue of Famitsu magazine, the long-anticipated PlayStation 2 game Shadow of the Colossus won't be hitting Japan until October 27, well over a month after its September 20 release in the States. Shadow of the Colossus is the sophomore effort from the internal team at SCEI that produced 2001's critically acclaimed adventure game ICO. Directed by Fumito Ueda and produced by Kenji Kaido, the title is not a direct sequel, although it shares much of the first game's graphic style.
