ART OF THE GAME

boasting a deformed boy with horns, an ethereal princess, antagonistic shadows and a crumbling, puzzle-laden castle, fumito Ueda's first game, ICO, became a cult classic after its 2001 release. four year later, copies are still regularly auctioned on eBay.

" however, i couldn't make my own living by just doing that, so i was working part time making 3-D CG."after sending in some sony sample to Sony, he was hired for his ability to combine technical know- how with modern art conceptualism. Ueda's atmospheric games are exercises ini minimalism - with music, character, cut- scenes, dialogue and graphics containing only what is necessary to inspire an emotional attachment....
