This is a video essay about Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, two of the most highly regarded games of the last decade (source - http://www.ign.com/decade/ ). Both are created by Fumito Ueda, an artist and game designer. All of his games have two key elements: a subtractive design, and a focus on relationships.

This video includes a brief overview of Shadow of the Colossus' story, the importance of Agro as a companion, and an analysis of Wander's character and motivations. Watch the first part here: http://www.youtube.com/watch/6l9Kh_...
