Shadow of the Colossus dated

Sony has announced that Shadow of the Colossus, the long-awaited follow-up to cult classic ICO, will be heading to European PS2s on February 17th.

And to celebrate the release, Sony will also be re-issuing ICO on the same day - so it won't be going for silly money on eBay any more, hurrah!

Shadow of the Colossus, for those who don't know, is an epic adventure that's all about killing giants. And it's absolutely brilliant - check out the review if you want to know why. In fact, it's so good it was our third favourite game of the year, don't you know. Pre-ordering's probably favourite.
