Ico Fun Facts

Ico, a video game released for the PlayStation 2, originally started development as a project for the PlayStation 1.
In Ico, the design of the protagonist's horns was inspired by a misinterpretation of a character in a classical painting, initially believed by the developers to have horns, which was later discovered to be a trick of perspective involving a background figure.

Easy Delivery Co.

Easy Delivery Co. is such a wonderful gem of a game. If you have a retro driving itch, this is a great pick. I was looking for an atmospheric driving game, and this satisfied that itch perfectly. While the graphics are PS1 era, the snow brought me back to the Donkey Kong Country snow/blizzard level - and it was just perfect. Highly recommend checking this one out.
