If you never played Shadow of the Colossus before, you're missing out on a phenomenal game. The atmosphere is incredible and the story telling is simple, yet marvelous. Bearing witness to these colossi and then finally conquering them is such a magical feeling very rarely felt in games today. If you own a PS3, Shadow of the Colossus will be rereleased in a few months in the upcoming ICO collection with improved hi-definition graphics, so you should make it a note to pick that collection up. Even if you previously owned it on the PS2, it will be worth experiencing all over again without encumbered visuals. If you don't own a PS3, you definitely need to own Shadow of the Colossus on your PS2.
That being said, the fact that all of my complaints are of a rather minor nature, only confirms the quality of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. Because, apart from the shameless in-game advertising by means of some misplaced billboards, there aren't many more things to complain about in Hot Pursuit. It's an exemplary arcade racer with excellent visuals, addictive, versatile gameplay, tight controls and an online component that is as simple as it is brilliant. The return of the traditional Need For Speed vibe only adds to the enjoyment, and it instantly washes away most of the foul taste left by games such as Underground and ProStreet. Start your engines!
