I guess opinions are divided on Dear Esther - some see it as just pointlessly walking around an island without being able to do anything, but I agree with the many reviews that saw it as a great blend between storytelling and beautiful visuals.

I played the 30 min free trial for a bit on Onlive when Dear Esther came out, but my internet connection isn't really good enough to really enjoy games on Onlive.

Was quite excited when I saw that Steam now has this on Steamplay (pretty sure that first they just had it as PC only), and at the same time it's on offer for around £3 till the 18th!

Looks amazing - even with my 2009 iMac Nvidia 9400m I can crank the resolution up to almost full resolution and full detail without framerates becoming a problem.

Highly recommended.
 
Dear Esther rocks but if anyone is somehow against paying money for the joyous, orgasmic thrill of playing it, or doesn't want to play it but still wants to experience the story, there is a Let's Play of it that's passable: http://lparchive.org/Dear-Esther/
