Both games have fantastic HD upgrades, but they suffer from sluggish controls and gameplay mechanics.
Ico The Good: Nice HD upgrade, clever level and puzzle design, leading Yorda around is a great mechanic The Bad: Janky animations and mechanics, Yorda's AI is really dumb, not much of a story, can be beaten in 4 ho... Read Full Review

Two of the greatest games of all time on one PS3 HD remastered disk. I urge you to get this game if you haven't already.
From what I can say these are two of the greatest video games on the PlayStation 2, but it doesn't stop there. These two video games aren't exactly games, but they're works of art. You heard me. ART. It's just hard... Read Full Review
