Actually all this talk of ICO and SOTC makes me wanna play them again

Well I'd estimate that if you played ICO from beginning to end it would take about 6-7 hrs to complete. But of course, if you pad it out, like I did and will do with Creed, then I think you'd get more enjoyment out of it, rather than notice all of it's flaws in one sitting. SOTC sounds largely like Creed, travel by horse to find enemy, find it's weak spots, attack with limited number of weapons, kill repeat. And that was all it had (well, unless you count finding the fruit/lizards that could increase your health and stamina). No minor enemies, no sub-bosses. Just 16 boss fights that again would take 7 hrs to power through. Yet there's perfect scores all round.....I'm definately gonna play SOTC now

I dunno, I think Creed is another victim of the hype machine. All the promise of next-gen technology and what have you. But from what I see and hear, it doesn't warrant IGN's claim of 'biggest next-gen dissapointment'. And another thing, I wish reviewers would stop spoiling the story.

I don't care if it is mentioned even at the beginning of the game, there's a reason Ubisoft didn't leak any information about the story and it should be kept that way. I don't know how many reviews I've read that start off with 'I won't spoil anything' or 'It's at the beginning anyway' and just reveal plot details that I'd rather find out myself. So annoying.
