Ico box art

This Handpainted Throwback Screams “Perfect 10″

As far as Perfect 10′s go, it’s not always about giant, in-your-face graphics, edgy designs, or impressive concept art. In this case, Ico went old school and had their director, Fumito Ueda, hand paint a beautiful still shot of the game.

Evoking feelings of wonder, fantasy, and adventure, this brilliant design emphasizes space and scale. As our protagonist leads his princess to safety and away from the evil castle, we relate to his vulnerability and exposure to whatever it is that chases him. Run Ico…run.
