No surprises this week. X-Men: Destiny is the obvious go to for all the nerds reading Big Shiny Robot!, myself included. The HD collections on PS3 are both good if you liked or missed the originals. I came to ICO late in the game, after it became such a cult classic. I can see the draw, but by the time I played it I was kind of disappointed with the handholding mechanic (literally, holding hands to make the stupid bitch do her job). But it is beautiful, even on PS2. Seeing it in HD should be something special. Other than that, it’s time to look forward to Rage and Spider-Man.
