Anyone who's ever played Ico or Shadow of the Colossus is usually left with high praise, but unfortunately for those who never played them, they can be pretty tough to come by these days (particularly Ico). Hopefully that'll soon change, if a new rumor is to be believed: Team Ico is reportedly planning on bundling both games together on a Blu-ray disc, remastered in HD, for release on the PlayStation 3 in the first quarter of 2011.

This rumor first popped up (albeit submerged in inexplicable and very, very NSFW language) on VG247, although no specific source was mentioned in their report. Additionally, The Six Axis later reported that they were told by their own anonymous source the planned collection is real, and Sony will release it in the first quarter of 2011.

Clearly none of this is confirmed, but if these reports are accurate, it may tell us a little bit about Team Ico's latest project, The Last Guardian. After all, it would make sense to release any "Team Ico Collection" right around the launch of their new game, and more than likely even a few weeks or months before it (much like Sony did with the God of War Collection before the release of God of War 3). As such, this might suggest The Last Guardian is similarly planned for a first-quarter release next year.

But, once again, nothing's confirmed. We'll see if Sony has any big announcement to make at E3 in just a few weeks.

I hope it's true, 2 of my favorite PS2 titles, and it would be a great lead-up to The Last Guardian, plus playing both again in HD and with trophies would be fun.
Unfortunately if this turns out true and that's the correct release date, that means no TLG until 2011.
 
this would be great. i've never played ico, and i've only ever watched stine do it. i'd like to play it but i hate doing the whole PS2 games on PS3 thing.

They did it with God of War, they can certainly do it for Ico and SotC, plus it'll act, as you say, a great lead up to TLG. As for TLG's release, I'd prefer them to take as much time as they need.
 
That's pretty cool news. I was thinking of starting another save game on the PS3 since I haven't played this game in a while but I might wait to find out if this is true. If so, I'd definitely buy it. I never beat ICO but I had a lot of fun playing the game.
 
I'd buy it :P I only have shadow of the colossus and never finished ICO (was a friend's) soooo (bought Shadow of the Colossus for 10 bucks whoo XD)
 
I'd buy this, no question. Those are two of my favorite games. I played through Ico recently, but a graphical upgrade would convince me to play again.
 
This title would get me to double dip.
 
SotC is one of my all time favorite games. Way advanced for its time, it is a wonderful gaming experience. I may pick them up 8)
