I was reading those reviews the other night, and it reminded me about how much emotion those two games elicited from me (which is very rare). So I figured that you'd enjoy them too, and now that you have a large TV, (hopefully) not a whole lot of detail will be lost, which is very important in these games. Then I think of what else you have in your backlog; yeah, crap in comparison. :p
Um, I have both. I bought Shadow of the Colossus, and downloaded ICO.
ICO would be a problem though. I have two versions of it, the superior PAL version, and the NTSC version. In order to play the PAL version, you'd have to borrow my Swap Magic DVD, because the PAL version is printed on a DVD. I use my Swap Magic DVD almost exclusively these days. So that's a problem. The NTSC version is printed on a CD, and I don't use my Swap Magic CD at all, so you could borrow those two. Unfortunately you'd still need a slide tool, so you get fucked there. :\ I guess I could make you one if you gave me an old bank card or something...
Eh, the two games are only spiritually connected, so you can play SoC without having played ICO and still enjoy it. I did it this way too.
