Shadow of the Colossus on PlayStation2 is obviously the next best thing to 
Gamecube's (new) The Legend of Zelda
(hero with sword on horse, game)

"Sony renames Wanda and the Colossus"

'Wanda and' becomes 'Shadow of'; new moniker exemplifies darker, 
action-oriented subject matter.
"In its pre-E3 showcase, Sony unveiled several of the games that will be 
shown at this year's gaming convention in Los Angeles. In addition to 
top-tier titles such as Genji: Dawn of the Samurai, Jak X: Combat Racing, 
and Ratchet: Deadlocked, Sony showcased another PlayStation 2 game scheduled 
for release later this year: Shadow of the Colossus.

The name may sound familiar to some--the game was previously known as Wanda 
and the Colossus. The reason for the change? According to Sony reps, Shadow 
of the Colossus more accurately describes the game's feel. Plus, it 
eliminates the possibility of any cross-translation puns ('Wanda' sounds 
eerily similar to 'wonder' in Japanese).
Shadow of the Colossus is being developed by the same internal Sony team 
that worked on the 2001 PS2 critical darling ICO. The game borrows much of 
the beautifully muted earth-toned graphics of ICO, but will be more 
action-oriented, unlike its adventuresome predecessor.

The hero of the game is a boy (like ICO) who rides across a barren wasteland 
with the lifeless body of a girl. In order to bring back the girl's soul, 
the boy and his horse must travel the land and defeat the wandering giant 
golems that roam the expanse.
