Del Toro Gives Props To Team Ico

One of the better directors today shows a little love to one of my favorite games.  What's odd is he definitely sounds like he knows his stuff. You can only wonder how many eyes a Guillermo Del Toro colossus would have [moreover...where would said eyes be placed.]

I absolutely loved BioShock. I loved the world, the design, the lighting, the beautiful art direction and cinematography. I’m a fan of Silent Hill, Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. I love them all. The first Silent Hill was so beautiful, almost like a Lynch, Polanski or Romero type of horror experience...

I love the engine of GTA IV. I’m not a big fan of the actual game: I’m not into break-ins or running people over, but the engine is incredibly beautiful, and the sandbox is very complete. The same goes for Medal of Honor Airborne, Call of Duty 4 or Army of Two. There are only two games I consider masterpieces: Ico and Shadow of the Colossus... I have a 12-year-old daughter and we play together, but unfortunately she’s more into Sonic and Kirby.

Even more points gained [no pun intended].  Now all we have to do is wait 4 years for Team ICO to respond, but it will be one of the best responses EVAR.
