Its interesting that you should mention Ico. The creator, Fumito Ueda, has an art education, and have also stated that if it wasn't for video games he would probably be an artist instead. I don't think this is a coincidence. To say something relevant, original and substantial you need knowledge about the context in which you want these properties. You also need a language that can transmit whatever you want to say. Currently game designers does not typically have the kind of background and education that would enable them to have those two things.
