This month's PlayStation Plus lineup is an interesting one, isn't it? On the one hand, you have the superlative Shadow of the Colossus PS4 remake from Bluepoint Games, and on the other is SEGA's latest attempt to make its mascot a half decent 3D adventure with Sonic Forces. You can't win them all, we suppose. In any case, this...

Game of the Year 2018 #8 - Shadow of the Colossus
They call me the wanderer
The odds are that if you have a conversation about the merits of video games as an art form, someone is going to bring up Shadow of the Colossus. Team ICO’s 2005 masterpiece is no stranger to re-releases, having been ported to the PlayStation 3 in an impressive package in 2011, but this time things were different. Rather...

Plus, an interview with the composer
Team ICO's Shadow of the Colossus has one of PlayStation's greatest soundtracks.

Hands On Shadow of the Colossus PS4 Looks Outrageous on PS4 Pro
On par with PS4's best
That Shadow of the Colossus, a game that originally released in 2005, can be mistaken for a current-gen game is testament to the outstanding work that Bluepoint’s done on this PlayStation 4 remake.

Shadow of the Colossus is one of the few games we wished we could play for the first time again.

That includes the son of Bluepoint’s art director, who is the subject...

PSX 2017 Shadow of the Colossus Has a 60FPS Performance Mode on PS4 Pro
If you prefer
The port masters over at Bluepoint Games have revealed that Shadow of the Colossus will feature two different modes on PlayStation 4 Pro: Performance mode and Cinematic mode. Cinematic mode, as you can probably imagine, bumps the game's resolution up -- supporting 4K -- while keeping the frame rate capped at 30 frames per second...
