Before Shadow of the Colossus and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda created one of the best games to grace the PlayStation 2; Ico. This award-winning action-adventure title that inspired many future gaming classics and gets the full Arcade Attack treatment.

Ico is a boy with horns. At the age of 12, when his horns grew large enough, the elders send him away to be sacrificed in order to stop evil spirits from attacking the village. Locked in a crumbling ancient castle, Ico only manages to begin his escape when a freak earthquake shakes loose the vessel he has been locked in. Ico shortly meets a princess named Yorda, who has been imprisoned by the evil queen. The two must explore the castle, trying to find a way to escape, persecuted by shadow minions.
