Oculus Rift and Virtual Boy: A match made in VR hell

If I can't have an Oculus Rift, I'll do the next best thing: watch someone else demo the virtual-reality headset using a bunch of currently-available games that I can relate to. Cymatic Bruce on YouTube is still pumping out ...

I'm flying! Oculus Rift and Hawken make VR magic together
