The Journey Continues...

My quest to finish Shadow of the Colossus is fully underway and I brought down three more of these huge and majestic creatures today. I must say that I am starting to feel a bit dirty for killing such epic beings for my own selfish reasons. It's especially unnerving since you can visit the ones that you've already defeated and see their silent remains, which tends to bring out the guilt. Also it's sad to see the effects on Wander's body since it's starting to look like his skin is getting paler and more decayed; his price for bringing down these guardians. I'm enjoying the game immensely but I'm getting the dreadful feeling that Wander has willingly and knowingly doomed himself to death in exchange for Mono's life and it seems that this will not be the classic case of hero saving the days and remaining pure while doing so.

In other news I stumbled upon this really cool ad for the game that really nails the whole soul of this epic journey. The winding text along the colossus reads: "Begin here: a weary traveler on the most perilous of journeys. Mile upon mile you've ridden in search of the power to save your one true love. Yet now you find yourself here, standing in the shadow of a beast who will devastate the tiny, insignificant being who dared to disturb his slumber. Unless you arm yourself with the one weapon large enough to slay him. One he cannot see. Nor can you. Yet you must employ it with every move you have the courage to make. The weapon? Your mind. And should you use it wisely, you shall topple a creature whose size is comparable only to your valor. And end here: atop a mountain that cannot be scaled, but must be slain."
