"Shadow of the Colossus" (I think the Japanese title is something like "Wander and the Colossi") is a terrific game, one of the classics. The blurring is from motion blur, the first time that was used so extensively in a game. If you're playing it on a huge HDTV, sure, it's not going to look as sharp as the latest and greatest hi-def games. But it's still a wonderful game. Moody, atmospheric, puzzling, mysterious.
Great visuals, each colossus is a unique boss battle, some puzzle/jumping elements, and a gradually building story arc. It's also a very forgiving game - you can mess up and try over and over again. Also a great sound-track. And the final battles... too good to spoil for you. Let's just say you'll never think of a final boss in quite the same way again.
Last but not least... SotC is a prequel to Ico.
