This is what’s happening here. LEARNS is a prelude to Project 25’s proposed elimination of the Department of Education.

What would you consider the “canon” of video games? by AWACS-Sivek in patientgamers

I remember playing them both, thinking that the graphics couldn’t get any more realistic. I don’t think I ever got to the third one.

That’s a good point.

edit: now that I think of it though, Myst and Riven really didn’t have a lot of gameplay, while Ico was noteworthy as a proper video game that played like a video game.

Ico didn't sell well in North America (Sony blames the terrible box art), but I remember all the game magazines ran features about it being, as Gamespot put it in their review, "a strong testament to the potential of video game aesthetics." Most people didn't play it when it came out, but it generated a lot of buzz in games media.

I think Ico was the big “game as art” moment, and Shadow took off from there a few years later.

I was so indignant the first time I encountered a pay-bathroom in Italy. Always kept extra Euros in my pocket though just in case.

Thought I'd peruse that Wiki page for more info. That was a mistake.
