Well that's fifty-six down...

Finished off Shadow of the Colossus today.

The final fight was against a huge giant that had a tower built around it. The first part of the fight was just trying to get up to it since it kept throwing huge fire balls. Then I had to climb up the tower and get to the exposed parts. The hardest part was figuring out what to do next.

I would stab it's back, causing it to bring a hand around that I jump on, then I tun up it's arm and stab it's shoulder, it's other hand would reach out and I would grab that. Then for the longest time I couldn't figure out what was next since there were no targets visible. Finally I discovered that if I stabbed the back of the hand it would hold still long enough for me to shoot an arrow at it's neck, causing it to move the hand to it's head. Then it was only a matter of climbing the head and stabbing the staby point until it died.

In the final cut scene it's revealed that all the colossi were the parts of a got that a religious order tore apart to remove it's power. The same religious order shows up just as the last colossus is killed, and try to kill the Wanderer. It's too late though and the god turns the Wanderer into a huge shadow monster. The order retreats and uses the Wanderer's sword to cast a magic black hole to suck up the shadows. The girl then comes back to life, finds that the Wanderer has turned into a baby with horns and brings him up to the garden above the castle.

I won't have time to finish Infamous before Skyrim comes out, so I'll take 10 days off to work on my other projects and pick back up on 11/11/11!
