If I had to make a list of my most hated games, ICO would easily make top 5. This incredibly pretentious title is a four-hour long escort mission that repeats the same tricks from beginning to end and features a vapid story that's basically an old folktale copy-pasted over. Its characters might as well have been cardboard cutouts -- in fact, a piece of cardboard would have likely turned out much more capable than Yorda and her stupid AI.

It's a clunky mess that should never have been made.
