A lot of great games are coming out on September 27, 2011, and it’s looking like Kmart will be the place to go to get them. Well, that is if you’re a member of their free Shop Your Way Rewards program. If you are, then you can get gaming coupons (read: gift cards) when you buy the three big name games coming out Tuesday. If you’re not into something new, PS3 Move items will be on sale and so will four Nintendo Wii Select games.

Let’s start with the 50% off PS3 Move items, to build anticipation for the gaming deals…

Well, we won’t be playing either the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection or The Last Guardian on our PS3s this year. Team Ico just came right out and said that both games are delayed. We don’t know why or for how long, just that they won’t be showing up in our systems anytime soon. It’s quite a disappointment, especially since both were supposed to be here in 2011. To be specific, Ico and Shadow of the Colossus Collection was supposed to be out in Spring 2011 and The Last Guardian in Winter 2011. Ico and Shadow of the Colossus were so close!

Team Ico’s Fumito Ueda made the announcement that probably broke a million hearts…

The Ico and Shadow of the Colossus PS3 remakes are real. They’re being announced at the 2010 Tokyo Game Show and Famitsu even has some preliminary information and screenshots. Which means all three Team Ico games will be available in HD. The remake news isn’t surprising though, as Team Ico’s Fumito Ueda said at TGS 09 that he wanted to see it happen…

Back in June, the French Amazon site listed the Team Ico Collection for a June 2011 release. This would be one of a few high definition PS2 remake collections to be offered by Sony. The chances of this happening are high due to Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida’s positive comments when asked about HD remakes. Now Walmart has joined in on the speculative fun by adding ICO / Shadow of the Colossus to its online database.

What is it about those four legged creatures that make us treat them with such respect? We as humans have hunted just about everything the Earth has been generous enough to create. However the horse shall not be touched. Does it not have meat? Can it not sustain a hungry family? No other animal has captured and sustained the loyalty of mankind more than the horse. This fact remains true even the realm of videogames. When you lose your horse, you lost part of yourself.

The Team Ico Collection is likely to contain two games – Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Both games were praised by critics even though the games didn’t weren’t as big of a financial success they deserved to be. Team Ico’s latest game, The Last Guardian hasn’t been seen since E3 2009. We are hopeful to see more of the game at the Tokyo Game Show that starts on September 16, 2010.

Rumors have begun to swirl about The Team Ico Bundle becoming available for the PS3 in Q1 of 2011. The bundle will include Ico and SotC with upgraded HD graphics. If this proves to be true, The Team Ico Bundle will follow the path set by the God of War Collection that released earlier this year. Team Ico’s Fumito Ueda said in 2009 he would like to see the bundle if the fans wanted it enough.

The Last Guardian is undoubtedly the prettiest game to appear during Sony’s two hour E3 2009 press conference, and I get the feeling a lot of people would agree. Team Ico unveiled the trailer for the third game in a trilogy that includes the PlayStation 2 games Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. Previously, the game was going under the code name Trico, so it’s nice to have a solid moniker to refer to it. Unfortunately, there’s still no sign of the release date and it is, of course, a PS3 exclusive.

The Last Guardian centers around the story of a young boy who looks a bit like Ico from Ico, only without the horns…

Every advocate for games-as-art just got some pretty interesting (and potentially very bad) news – it appears that the ethereal, unconventional Shadow of the Colossus is going to be made into a movie. Ben Fritz of The Cut Scene reported that the Sony-owned property is set to receive the Hollywood treatment via Sony Pictures and producer Kevin Misher (known for The Interpeter).
