So I loved the graphics of ICO and the mystery of the castle


I take it you didn't read the manual then :(


but the crate shoving and torch lighting gameplay put me to sleep.


Yeah, but there's just something about adventure-ish games with seamless interaction with the environment that appeals to me. It's one of the reasons I loved Out of This World. Ico is the only game is the past few years to come close to a similar experience.

Yet another plug for the Fear Effect games, which were the Out of This World for PS1 generation. Just be warned, the first game starts out merely okay but steadily progresses towards awesome as it goes on (the long load times inbetween frequent deaths are painful though). The second game starts out awesome then suddenly plunges headfirst off the cliffs of crapiness at the halfway point, so as soon as you complete the first half (easy to tell when), just pretend the game is over, you won, and turn it off.

In most stealth games, you throw a rock to distract guards. In both FE games, the hot lesbian main character rips off her top. The guards, not being enlightened Ray!nassaince men of the 1500's, are foolishly attracted to her huge rack and are quickly dispatched.
