3. Shadow of the Colossus - A Boy and His Horse
Who would have thought that questing across a lonesome expanse of nature, with nothing but a horse companion, could spark one of the greatest video games created?

Following the shining light of our swords we galloped across the landscape in search of the next giant to slay. Shadow of the Colossus provided gamers with a truly awe-inspiring game that once again reminded us of the power that a strong vision and awesome game design can create. Each Colossus fused together a variety of different puzzles that required patience, wit, and classical gaming platforming skill in order to bring the behemoth's to their knees.
