2. Ico

As with Psychonauts, Team Ico's breathtaking PS2 puzzle-platformer was loved by everyone except the people who matter to a game publisher: the man on the street with money in his pocket.

We've learned to accept games like Flower and its newer sibling Journey, and we've been blown away by the emotions that such games can conjure. But back in 2002 we wanted to KILL STUFF. All the time. And so, like the neanderthals we are, we let a masterpiece of gaming go by relatively unnoticed.
