Shadow of the Colossus
Heard of it?

If you don't own a PS2 and/or haven't played Ico, then probably not. I don't have the time right now to get into too much detail, but if you navigate around that site a bit, you'll get the basic premise. I'll elaborate a little later.

I've heard much about it. Don't you get to fight gigantic enemies, like uber huge?

[Nanobyte]

Yes, the Colossi. They're huge. There are sixteen in total, with each being separate and unique from the others.

The story elements are much akin to Ico, where the player interprets the game as they will (trust me, this doesn't take away from the experience):

Tales speak of an ancient land where creatures the size of mountains, roam the majestic landscape. Bound to the land, these creatures hold a key to a mystical power of revival - a power you must obtain to waken a loved one. Shadow of the Colossus is a majestic journey through ancient lands to seek out and destroy gigantic mythical beasts. With your trusty horse at your side, explore the spacious lands and unearth each Colossi. Armed with your wits, a sword and a bow, use cunning and strategy to topple each behemoth. From the original developers of the critically acclaimed ICO™, comes a masterpiece of an adventure.

On top of all that, the scenery in this game is simply breathtaking.

So I'd say if you're even slightly interested, you should look into it.
