Half-Life: Alyx is full of a million tiny little touches that make it a splendidly neat VR game. You can wear a bucket on your head and it protects you from Barnacles. There's a fully-functioning piano in a hotel lobby. It's all a bunc...

Star Wars VR is so hot right now. Coming off of Vader Immortal and an in-person VR experience, ILMxLAB has announced another Star Wars VR project called "Tales from Galaxy's Edge." As many of you Disney park fans are already wondering:...

Last year, famed podcaster and amateur historian Dan Carlin, along with MWM Interactive, released War Remains, a virtual reality experience that put guests in the shoes of a soldier on the western front of World War I. It was only availabl...

Sony Interactive Entertainment, in association with developer Camoflaj and Marvel Comics, has released a demo of the upcoming PSVR title Marvel's Iron Man VR. Available to download from the PlayStation Store today, the demo gives PSVR owner...

Few virtual reality games have made me sweat as much as Gorn, a cartoonish, maniacal, relentlessly hands-on gladiatorial combat game from Broforce creator Free Lives and very on-brand publisher Devolver Digital. Every time I take the PSVR h...

[Update: Tetris Effect launched today for Oculus Quest with gamepad and Oculus Touch support. It's a fantastic game that's arguably even better in VR, so for $29.99, I wouldn't think twice.] The wait for Tetris Effect on Oculus Quest should...

Sony Interactive Entertainment and Camouflaj have struggled to get Iron Man VR out the door, but this is it: the final (cross-your-fingers) release date. After multiple delays, the PlayStation VR action game is now scheduled to release for ...

The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, arguably the most interesting TWD video game adaptation in years, is out today for $39.99 on PlayStation VR. If it's been a while since you've used your PlayStation Move controllers, you'd better doub...

VR parkour, as a concept, is full of thrilling potential – but only if it's done well. Only if it nails that sense of scale, speed, and danger without making you ill. After seeing the trailer for Stride, a first-person platformer comi...

The internet is incredible but oftentimes predictable. For instance, as soon as I saw a hotel lobby piano in Half-Life: Alyx, I thought "Oh shit, people are gonna play real music on that." And they have. But just because it's predictable do...

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...
