It goes without saying that Dear Esther: Landmark Edition won't be for everyone. However, those who are willing to open their minds and try something different are in for a treat, because Curve Digital has brought a haunting, beautiful and memorable experiences to consoles with this port.

Those who play EA Sports' NHL games religiously tend to gravitate towards its EA Sports Hockey League (EASHL) mode. It's there where strangers can become teammates and best friends can become superstar linemates, as they come together to form an online powerhouse. That's the goal, at least, and it's something that will become even more tempting when NHL 17 hits store shelves this fall.
