ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, two of the most beautiful and artistic games of the PS2 era, will be re-released as part of a collection in HD. According to Playstation Lifestyle the collection will most likely receive an official release date for Spring 2011 at TGS. Also rumored is a US price point of $40. If you don’t remember these games or haven’t played them this is a great chance to see them in HD.

PS2 classics God of War and God of War 2 were released as an HD collection on PS3 late last year. This may have started a trend of these classics on the new generation. The HD collection of the Sly Cooper trilogy (including Sly 3 in 3D) is set for release November 16, 2010. With such a great backlog of games on the PS2 this could be a great thing for Sony fans – especially with the newer model PS3s not having the backwards compatibility of the earlier generation.
