He's talking 'games as art' that he's played. Out of all the games I've played those two (and maybe Silent Hill 2) are the only ones that would spring to mind - and I started playing games when you had to go to an Arcade never mind a home console!
Zelda. Metroid, Half Life etc. are all great games but I wouldn't consider them art. ICO and SOTC I would. I guess I'm not alone in that although others might disagree.
I think elements of other games (Deus Ex & Half Life 2 spring to mind) come close but few games carry off their themes as well as ICO and SOTC (and Silent Hill 2 - got to keep mentioning that).
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
