Every so often we tackle dual reviews, where two authors share their takes on a game and provide a single combined score. What better game to bring that concept back than Half-Life: Alyx, the first new Half-Life game in ages. Gath...

This 16-second video completely speaks for itself. This is the sort of innovative spirit and can-do attitude that'll get us through these lean times. This is literal inventory management in a medium that has tried to eliminate any actions ...

It's easy to think of an update that's turning-oriented as boring or insubstantial. But, in virtual reality, the locomotion of your character (and, hopefully, how it keeps you from feeling sick) is super important. That's the main focus of ...

In today's contest we've got PSVR copies of Paper Beast to give out! Virtual reality has come a long way since the days of the Virtual Boy. Why'd I choose that? Because that's sadly what I think is the general impression people get when the...

Half-Life: Alyx has been available for approximately 27 hours, and Valve just knows someone's already hard at work modding virtual reality out of it. Valve doesn't explicitly know of any specific modders undertaking that project, mind ...

Yep, that's a big 'ol picture of Russell: a guy you meet very early in the game. That's just a spoiler guard though, because most of you probably clicked this because of a puzzle solution.

Half-Life: Alyx has some very long chapters, especially in the early-going. Long, stressful segments in creepy environments where there's never enough downtime to feel a sense of relief. That's why I welcomed the chapter called "Jeff."...

In Half-Life: Alyx, Valve keeps the inventory management relatively simple. For more info on how that all works (which involves minor gameplay and non-story spoilers), read on!

Half-Life: Alyx is a virtual reality game, sure, but it's also a Half-Life game. While it's second nature to go in thinking that it'll be a base-level tech demo with a Half-Life story, it really does feel like past iterations in m...

Honestly, I struggled with whether this puzzle even warranted a guide. I spent far too long trying to figure it out, and then felt dumb for not getting it sooner. But, Chris told me something along the lines of "If you had trouble, some oth...

So Half-Life: Alyx has puzzles in it. Who knew?! The thing is, most of them are optional, granting access to item-filled lockers. Some aren't, as you're required to do them to progress on the critical path. It's very easy to skip them ...

If you ever wanted to step into the hilariously overpowered boots of millionaire industrialist Tony Stark - except without the money, fast cars, or self-hatred - then you might get the opportunity soon, with the revelation of an incoming de...

The Panzer Dragoon series is going through a revival of sorts. This plan is kind of nebulous and lacks direct details, but back in the tail-end of 2018, Sega revealed remakes for the first two entries were coming, and now we have a "winter ...

Eric Chahi, the creator of Another World, is coming out with an ecosystem simulation game about origami creatures for PlayStation VR. Paper Beast has a story mode – you can alter the terrain and weather, not unlike a god game, to solv...

When Half-Life: Alyx was revealed last November, the popular reaction wasn't a surprising one. It went something along the lines of "After all these years, Valve is finally making another Half-Life game." (Alternatively, the other...

The Valve Index is in high demand ahead of Half-Life: Alyx's March 23 launch, but there aren't enough to go around. Because of the coronavirus outbreak, manufacturers in China aren't able to produce enough of Valve's headset, leaving it bac...

It feels surreal to talk about a new Half-Life game as something that's definitely launching before the month is over. Half-Life: Alyx is nearly here, and Valve has three new gameplay videos to give us a sample platter of wh...

As someone who's into survival horror games and virtual reality, I've been burned many times before by titles that either don't make the most of the genre, or the medium, or sometimes both. There are a lot of middling-at-best VR horror expe...

Global superstar Hatsune Miku is set to join roving 'n' raving reporter Ulala in the recently released Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash. The Vocaloid star will feature in upcoming DLC, as announced by developer Grounding Inc.It's ...

Ever since Half-Life: Alyx was revealed late last year, demand for the Valve Index virtual reality headset skyrocketed. It shot to the top of Steam's best-sellers list, and quickly sold out in every region where it was available. As of...

Hello Games has released the latest in a long line of updates for its interplanetary exploration title No Man's Sky. Along with a huge list of bug fixes and mechanical tweaks, the "Living Ship" update adds some very strange new vessels, shi...

During last December's stacked State of Play presentation, Sony dropped a trailer for a strange and esoteric-looking VR title, Paper Beast. Now developer Pixel Reef is peeling back the layers on this stylistic release, with a new trailer sh...

After all these years, the next chapter in Valve's unshakable sci-fi saga is nearly upon us. Half-Life: Alyx will release on March 23, 2020, with support for the Valve Index, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift headsets. "Pre-order bonuses for anyone...

Prince of Persia makes its return this spring after a decade-long absence, as Ubisoft is adapting the beloved-yet-ignored franchise into a virtual reality escape room. That's the Prince of Persia news you wanted, right? Prince of ...

If there's one thing you'll quickly (and continuously) learn as a new VR owner, it's that sales are crucial. After breaking through that initial financial barrier to entry, it's important to build out your early library with restraint. When...
