DISHONORABLE MENTION #4 AKA the Second Worst Game of All Time: Ico (PS2, 2001)

I hate you B8. Every game you recommend me is awful. This is why I will never play a Phoenix Wright game. B8 cannot be trusted. Mass Effect 2 is one of the most garbage experiences I ever had gaming. Thanks B8. Deus Ex? Trash. Thanks B8. Odin Sphere? Zzzzzzz. Thanks B8. Ratchet and Clank? Dear god hold my hair while I vomit. Thanks B8. Persona 3. Oh cool emo teens shooting themselves, or was that 4? It sucked too. Thanks B8.

Every game B8 recommends to me I have hated. As such I no longer take any B8 suggestions. If I want to play a game I will. The most horrible example of this is Ico. Why on earth would anyone willingly advertise this game to people they like? They take the single worst experience in games, escort quests, and make it the entire game!? And like many escort quests, the person you are escorting is so insanely stupid they run straight at death every chance they get. Why is every escort quest for a toddler in an adult body? Ico is an ugly game, all grey and brown. The music is boring and unremarkable. Both characters are terrible. The gameplay is slow, unresponsive and insanely dull. Even the times its supposed to feel frantic, its snails paced and you are like ... omg why is this so slow. The story is bad, I think you are meant to care about these two dopes but I just wanted them dead. Games are art, but some art sucks. Remember that the museum here in Ottawa paid 2 million for Voice of Fire.

That cost 2 million dollars. I have seen this piece of shit up close, you can see the tape marks. That is Ico. Ico is something you are told you are to like and look how well it is reviewed or something. You have to like it! You don't get it if you don't like it. No I get it, it sucks.
