I STILL have way too many games!

Well, 6 years after my last post and I still have too many game that I have yet to finish. This blog is to help me keep track of my progress on them! (Spoilers. Duh.)

Chasing tail

Started on Shadow of the Colossus today, and my first goal is to max out the Wanderer as I go.
All over the map are silver tailed lizards that expand your grip meter when you kill them and eat their tail. Although this only expands it by a pixel or less, but it adds up eventually. There are also fruit in trees that extend your health bar when you eat them, and these fortunately have a bigger impact.

The map has a grid pattern on it, which makes following a lizard/fruit walk-through much easier. So I went back and forth across the middle row that you start in and cleared out all the lizards and fruit. Then to cap the day off I killed the first colossus.

The game looks really nice in HD, and would almost look current gen if it wasn't for the horse's very angular plot and mane. There is also a very apparent popping in of textures which would have been much less on a modern game.

Total so far:
Colossus 1
Lizards 15
Fruit 25
