To be honest, this isn't artsy-fartsy enough for me. ICO reserves a very special place in my heart, and I feel that a cover would really need to be something unique to truly fit the game (Your every day collage type cover just won't do.)
I do, however, absolutely love the back. The way the screenshots are bordered, and the floor plans for the castle are both genius. I also really like your presentation, the background you used fits the color scheme and really has the isolated feel to it. Also, the text on the back is somewhat difficult to read. If you were to put a thicker black outline to the text (Or really, just copy the text on a new layer, blacken it, and give it a gaussian blur, or a dark brown, that'd make it blend into the background nicely.) then it would solve the problem.
I do have to say, though, that I feel the template you used is horrid. Granted, it's because it's a PS3 template (Which is, by default, atrocious, so it's not your fault.) but still, I'd have much more appreciated a PS2 alternate insert, rather than a hypothetical PS3 version.
*Updated* I've changed the text on the back for your reading pleasure :P and changed the sony logo to one that's more fitting for ps3 and more visible.
Born with horns hey....anybody else feel sorry for his mother?
EDIT: Whoops almost forgot about commenting on the box.
Very nice, but I think the girls head is a bit close to Ico, just move her up and to the left abit. ^^
A really great game, i hope this box does it justice.

whoa... the blending is SUPERB! o.o'
may i suggest putting the logo somewhere else, as it gets kinda lost where it is now?
+fav nonetheless

I heard this game was really good, but i've never played it. i think this box is pretty good also, though the text on the back is hard to read.

#11 The European and Japanese covers don't have any rating at all and i thought it might make it look tacky on a box like this.

aah ok, i did not know that.

Love it but the template needs an opacity. Great job.

#14 the temp is opaque, you can only see it on the black bit of the landscape behind. v1 wasn't but i made sure i fixed it.
