Pretty much what it means. I'm surprised you lot never heard of the phrase before though, it's fairly common!

I've never even heard of Ico before.
It's a very artistic game, notable for its huge emphasis on music, environment, and other such stuff. It's also seen as something of a founding father for modern-day environmental effects (such as soft and bloom lighting techniques). It's considered to be one of the best games altogether, and is the spiritual predecessor to ShadowOfTheColossus.
Of course, as you can guess, it meant the gameplay was sub-par. Whatever about games like Psychomantis, this one really did take the opposite route Pokemon did and prioritised the gameplay a distant second to ambience. And for someone like me, who feels that playing a game should be based on playing and not on admiring its non-interactive elements, it makes for a not-so-fun game.
And yes, you may be noticing a trend in Indigo's preference of games (Ico, SotC, GoW). Mainly, that they're games notable for being great in ambience and such but not so much in actual gameplay. I don't think me and him will ever come to a good conclusion on what a good game is...
