There's good news and there's bad news. The next game in the Half-Life canon won't require the $1,000 Valve Index hardware to play. That's a bullet dodged. However, it will require some sort of PC-based VR setup, and that's going to be...

It's taken Golem longer than expected to make it onto PlayStation VR, and I worry that for some people, the game missed its window of opportunity – that it's going to seem like too little, too late. VR is a fast-moving field, after al...

It's hard to believe that the inaugural episode of Vader Immortal, a VR (and Oculus)-only experience came out in May. Although it was very hurried I was hooked from the first run, and needed to see where it all ended. Naturally it can'...

VR has become much more accessible in just this past year, and Oculus has smartly pivoted to match market demands. The users have spoken: they want untethered freedom of movement, and lower price points. That was the goal with the Oculus Qu...

Earlier this week Valve revealed that there's a new Half-Life game in the works called Half-Life: Alyx. Whoa calm down there champ! It's a VR project. This is something every Index user sort of predicted, as the company launched t...

Today's contest features a PSVR copy of workout title BoxVR! Alright nerds, let's face the music -- we could all use a little more exercise in our lives. Sure, sitting on the couch and getting our Dew and 'Ritos on kinda rules, but we gotta...

Most people do not have the restraint to hold off until the last possible moment to invest in an expiring console. However, those who do will find some absolutely fantastic deals waiting for them. Sony is heading into its final Black Friday...

In today's contest, we've got an exclusive signed soundtrack and copy of PSVR title Golem! I'll give physical prizes away until the day I die, or my name isn't Wes Quincy Addams Mortimer Voluptuous Backspace Tacos, Esq. That's my full name,...

Stress Level Zero just announced a December 10, 2019 release date for Boneworks on Steam, and it's the kind of game that can sell itself with a single gif. (Okay, actually, let's make that two.) It's the kind of game that comes with a "Hey,...

Horror and virtual reality tend to go hand in hand, and while I've sleepwalked through some supposedly scary VR games that didn't end up being all that impactful even with an added sense of immersion, generally speaking, the genre suits the...

Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted freaked me the hell out earlier this year, and I say that both as a compliment and as someone who isn't invested in the wider series. It hit the spot. Thinking back on everything I played on PlayStati...

Sony's next-gen follow-up to PlayStation VR is coming into greater focus. While we know the company plans to support the current PlayStation VR headset and PS4 games on PlayStation 5, there will obviously come a time, notably after the cons...

PlayStation VR turns three years old on October 13, and it's impressive how much mileage Sony has gotten – and continues to get! – out of the little peripheral. As much as the technology itself is really showing its age in 2019,...

Announced this afternoon at New York Comic-Con, Iron Man VR will be released for $40 on February 28, 2020. It's sandwiched right between two big-hitting PS4 exclusives: The Last of Us Part II (which launches first, on February 21) and Fina...

A VR lightsaber game with Touch remotes seems like a no-brainer: like the sort of thing Oculus should have locked up years ago and paraded on stage during a major conference. But alas, the Star Wars license is as fickle as the battle betwee...

The Oculus Quest has pros and cons. In the plus column, it's a headset that's a standalone device which means that the user isn't tethered to a PC; eliminating the need for a high-end PC is something a lot of analysts have pointed to as a k...

And there it is! After some well-founded speculation following a PS4 rating from PEGI, it's official: L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files is not only coming to PlayStation VR, it's out now. The silly-physics detective game made an appearance dur...

In today's contest, we've got copies of VR title Battlewake up for grabs -- as well as a PSVR unit! It's not often we get a prize as cool as a brand new PSVR unit. In fact, we've never gotten one. A real shame! VR has some really, really co...

This contest features a PSVR copy of The Angry Birds Movie 2 VR: Under Pressure! I'm usually pretty good at managing the several jobs I have. I've got a decent handle on keeping on schedule with things and juggling several tasks at once. So...

We knew that Harmonix's VR rhythm shooter Audica was bound to surface on PlayStation VR sooner or later, but now there's a release-window confirmation – it's making the trip to PSVR this fall. "At launch, Audica will include four vis...

Today's contest features fast-paced ninja action in Sairento for PSVR! I am not a ninja. I can't do any ninja things, and I'm not sneaky at all. Sometimes I lose my balance when walking in a straight line. One time I tripped while standing ...

L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files has taken on a life of its own as a hotbed for hysterical gifs and videos in which players use their VR controllers to make detective Cole Phelps act like a madman in front of witnesses and suspects, and I can'...

We've got a physical copy of PSVR title The Wizards: Enhanced Edition to give away in today's contest! Is there anything cooler than being a wizard? I mean, apart from literally anything else, of course. But in the nerdy sense, being a wiza...
