Is very good.
... but not enough to get me to actually play only one game at a time, though. I'm still playing SF Rush (N64) and Batman (NES), like I was a few days ago? I'm so close to the end of Batman... at the final boss...
And as for Rush, for some reason, when I played the first one again a few days ago, something clicked and suddenly I thought "wow, this is one of the best racing games ever made!" I mean, I'd always said that Rush 2049 was the amazing one, and Rush 1 was a distant second... but putting more time into it now makes me maybe question that. Sure it's incredibly frustrating (the whole enemy car pack stays one second apart in a tiny clump, meaning if you make one too many tiny mistakes, it's straight to last place for you!), but it's so, so great... (oh, and I only use the Extreme cars, of course. :))
But anyway, Ico... um, I'm still in the first level, but it is good. Some decent puzzles so far. And that great art, of course... very odd default controls, though. Jump on triangle, drop on X? Those make so much more sense switched... same goes for the shoulder buttons. 'call' to L1, look to R1. Why put both on one side? Stupid. But at least it lets you redefine the controls, unlike far too many games! :)
