There's a short interview with ICO/Shadow of the Colossus creator about his take on the God of War games over at Cory Barlog's blog. It's a quick little read but it's not often you see Japanese developers talk about other games very often. Especially Western ones.
Wish this kind of open discussion occurred more often in game development 
Also, that blog displays weird in Firefox for some reason.
pretty interesting to say the least. i am a bit puzzled about his actualy opinion on the game(s) in general. it seems that he likes them but then goes and says that it's low poly and that the japanese would make it different?
having played both games i can say that i think of them as the epitome of console gaming; quite possibly the 2 best console games i have ever laid my hands on. original i thought that the genre died out with golden axe on the snes/genesis/other systems, but this resurrection really made a nice contrast to the standard pc games you get nowadays (i only played them recently, some 2 weeks ago).

GoW I/II or ICO and SotC? Either way, I agree. The translation is a little iffy, yeah, little confusion in places but you take away the gist of what he's getting at.
SotC is probably one of the best games in history, I don't think GoW really stacks up fun as it is
I'd kiss this guy's feet, though
Sometimes I feel like im the only person on the planet who havent played any of these games...
...just because I've never owned a modern console (snes ftw)
are thye on PC?
also lol at his comment "western games are coming on"
tit
i was referring to god of war 1 and 2. i have yet to buy sotc and ico but i am in shortage of monae atm.
skjalg: those games alone make up for getting a ps2, add to that many other games like beyond good and evil and gh. it's cheap now should i suggest you get it 
There are other genres out there than D&D RPG, RTS and FPS. Get a console already.
my student loan barely covers a bed and food on the table.
I've worked alot this summer though, to earn cash for a new computer. Would you guys suggest I buy a ps2 and play 3-4 games, or should I put everything into a new computer so I can run all these new beautiful games that are coming to the PC soon. (Age of Conan, Crysis, etc etc) ?
You can get a PS2 for such a small amount these days it's ridiculous. A new slim PS2 (the redesigned smaller version) could be had for less than £100 even a year ago, and the games can be found off sites like Amazon at excellent prices. And the console itself for that matter.
So many good games on it, you'd be crazy not to. All the ones mentioned in this thread so far, plus pick up Metal Gear Solid 3 while you're at it. 
(It's a prequel to the other two so it doesn't matter if it's the first one you play.)
Why doesn't sony sell a ps2 emulator (maybe even hardware based as pc-plugin)? I like the PS2 very much but it is so annoying to have another box in the TV-Locker. They could sell it for 30$+ and I think it would sell better than the last series of ps2s.
hm alright, i'll definatly look into it
