Nah, they probably just listed the PS3 games for the other guys because they had them and put Warren Spector on the list because he's fucking Warren Spector even though he isn't making a PS3 game. He had the best answer of them all btw, make sure you go to the bottom of the list and read his full reasonings for what he listed.

Yes, great points by the big man there. Ico is really such an achievement. One that will probably be ignored by many twitch gamers or those seeking shallower thrillers (not to knock that), but it remains unbeaten in the way it creates a fully realized world you can divine from the visual clues and design of the game.
It also features the single best, most sophisticated use of indirect feedback to the user in the form of how you held hands with Yorda and felt her heartbeat through the Dualshock.
Creative genius.
And, as noted by David Jaffe, all this within what is actually a good game. Ico might get the artistic plaudits, but it actually features well thought out and utilized gaming mechanics as well.
Who'd think someone like Dvid Jaffe would also put Ico first? Nice to see it get so many mentions. Pity the masses couldn't get to grips with it.
