The much-anticipated Shadow of the Colossus remake hit stores this past week, and it's hard to argue with the general critical consensus, that it's one of the best remakes in video game history. Truly, it is a gorgeous reminder of just how imaginative and artful gaming can be.

The remake has given fans the perfect excuse to fell the sixteen colossi all over again and observe how the battles have changed since the original 2005 release, or rather, how your own tastes for the fights have perhaps shifted.
