Happy late New Year listeners! Welcome to a new season of the Armchair Gamer Podcast. The first episode of season three is mainly a discussion of Team Ico’s Ico and Shadow of The Colossus. I’m joined in this discussion by Cody Bauman. We talk about both games and how they relate to each other. Also, I briefly eulogize THQ. Warning: We will rather nonchalantly spoil both games!

Pirates.
The
second track in the introduction is “The Makers Theme” from Darksiders 2 (the soundtrack is composed by
Jesper Kyd) the soundtrack is available on Amazon here:http://tinyurl.com/aoowu3g
The Theme
Song (as always) is The Advantages cover of “The Moon” from Ducktales.
Two
tracks from the ICO- Melody in
the Mist soundtrack are used
(“You Were There” and “Heal”) this soundtrack comes from Michiru Oshina. It is

If you own a PS3 and have not played ICO or Shadow
of The Colossus you should
drop a little cash for the HD collection (available on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/ICO-Shadow-Colossus-Collection-Playstation-3/dp/B002I0J5FG/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1360364552&sr=1-1&keywords=ico+and+the+shadow+of+the+colossus+ps3)
