Not sure why I haven't mentioned it before, but at the same time as Suikoden IV showed up from Gamefly, so did Shadow of the Colossus. I haven't been played it nearly as much at a sitting, because, as the reviews suggest, the entirety of the game is travel to and defeating of very very large bosses. And these are really epic, incredible fights...and more than one or two at a time kind of fries me. It's just...too much.
Not much else to say, really. The reviews are right, it's gorgeous, it's an experience and a half, and it's pretty short. It's maybe not a perfect game, but it is exactly what it's intended to be, with no mis-steps in design thus far.
I'm liking it much better than ICO, which had similar aesthetics but the shadow enemies were so irritating as to cause me to stop playing well before the end.
Shadow of the Colossus I expect to finish. 9 down, 7 to go. Wish me luck...

I enjoyed Stardust and American Gods. Neverwhere was written like a collection of Episodes and the TV series did him no credit.
His best piece that I've read was his Cthulu short story.
I also really enjoyed his rebuttal to Margaret Atwoods "Long Pen"
I'm only venturing into Graphic Novels slowly, and I'm being bombarded with Alan Moore by well meaning friends, so I haven't gotten to Gaiman yet.
