The Top 7... Gamers' New Year's resolutions

Your guide to a happy, healthy new year of gaming

3. Finally finish Shadow of the Colossus

You wanted to finish it, but after putting it down for a week, you just couldn’t muster the willpower required to pop it back in. Each week that passed you became less and less interested only because recommitting to the task seemed like way too much effort.

But Shadow of the Colossus isn’t just any game, it’s one of the best games ever released on the PS2. Turn off that Seinfeld rerun and finish it - you’ll thank yourself for it. No, we don’t care that it’s the one where Jerry drops a Junior Mint into a surgery patient.

If you’re not yet certain that Shadow of the Colossus deserves to be included on your list of completed games, here are some completely out of context review quotes to get you hyped:

Imagine 400-foot black-armored Pokemon...” - Yahoo! Games

“...shockingly realistic...” – Thunderbolt

“Seriously.” – Gaming Age

“...it's enough to make you regret every stupid coin you ever collected.” – 1up

“...something I'm going to attempt to avoid...” – IGN

Ignore that last one. Also, if you haven’t played Okami yet, please do so now.

Bwahaha. Just leafing through these, came to page 5.

I don't have the game, but I *do* have Okami. And I never finished it. I got pretty far, but other things popped up and I played them and I was going to play but then I didn't and then I said to myself "you're not going to play this for like another two years despite your best intentions, are you?" and then that happened and I completed a run-on sentence.

But yeah, I saw that and I was like, "yeah...Okami..." same thing with Metroid Prime 2. Oh well.

And then at the end of it, the article tells me to play Okami ;_;
