OK, so recently my grandma had a stroke which left most of her speech and motor functions impaired. I know I shouldnt poke fun of her, but being a Grandma's boy I got stuck taking care of her, so I now have a strange sense of humour about the situation. More to the point, I realized that taking care of her is like playing a really twisted game of Ico. To explain...

Grandma is unable to get from her bed to the bathroom to the kitchen to the TV by herself, so I must accompany her. Along the way, numerous obstacles in the form of chairs and stuff are to be found, which must be knocked aside so Grandma can pass.

Occasionally, Grandma's cats (she has a lot of them) will appear and attempt to use Grandma as a scratching post. They must be batted away without mercy.

In the harder levels, Grandma will attempt to walk on her own and soon be nowhere to be found. Then, I must search the entire apartment building until I locate her. Darn!

So there we have it. If anyone knows of any other real-life situations that are comparable to Ico, feel free to post them here!

That... is twisted.

However, I think I can mention that a friend of my mother's has an old garden that is a lot like the courtyard area in ICO (the one in which there are holes and the ground with water and weight-switches). It's very pretty.

i have a sister and i have to run away from her and beat her sensless sometimes. and then i ahve to get my memory cards away from her like the spirits and that girl.then i she hits me with a big flashlight against my head and i get mad but she does it again and again so its like a repeat of ico over and over again.

annoying. Gauis the Drakkhen Knight has that happen to him. Gauis is the third sotc colossus. whatever. yes. that is very annoying. wonder if youll play ico in heaven. whatever just kidding. my brother annoys me when i play Shadow of The Colossus and stuff like ICO.

my walk to schools a bit like ico in that i hav to navigate through dumb buliders and construction sites,from one side of town to another

I am often like Yorda as my sense of direction is pretty bad

well theres this place i visit sumtimes it sorta looks like that tower where you can look down on everything:hypno:

Try taking a trip on the New York City subway during rush hour... That makes "Ico" seem like child's play!

Try 2-player mode (PAL only).
