I still have to borrow the HD collection from my friend. I've never played SoTC (I've seen it, though). But I doubt I'll like it as much as ICO.

 

If you want to have pure fun like you've described, STAGE (at least, what fits into your description), you should totally give a try to Dragon's Dogma. You won't be disappointed.

Believe me, you will.

I'll have to judge it, since I only saw the slaughter of one of the colossi (A friend of mine was playing it), and the gameplay seems interesting enough, but I loved the atmosphere and settings of ICO more, minus the handicapped AI.

I prefer Ico slightly over SotC, only because Ico is great to play together while SotC works better on your own. Both are amazing, top 5 best games of all time.
You don't experience the atmosphere and setting as much in SotC from watching someone else playing it, you have to wander around by yourself and struggle with the morality of the main character. It's the desolate setting and complete isolation that make it special.

That's also why I don't get why people compare Castlevenia LoS to SotC. Yes it has big bosses, but the games couldn't be more different. I still have to finish LoS, I lost interest due to the repetitive combat.
