Narcosis is one of those VR games that I’ve been writing about pretty much as long as I’ve been writing about VR itself (just over three years). In fact, the survival horror game made its debut at the 2014 Game Developers Conference (GDC). A few weeks on from GDC 2017 wrapping up, we finally have...
Good news. Robo Recall, one of the best looking games available on a VR headset today, actually cost a lot less to produce than the rumored $10 million. It’s certainly a compliment to the small team at Epic Games responsible for the game that the notion of a $10 million production budget was so widely...
Swords and zombies did well last month. The gaming industry generated $724 million in revenues in the United States last month, according to data-tracking firm The NPD Group.

What your mind expects and what your eyes see is a crucial element to the locomotion in VR experiences. As much as many developers would like to have everyone moving freely at high speeds, VR motion sickness is a real concern so things like teleporting must be implemented. There are a few gaming experiences that are...
Many mobile augmented reality experiences will continue to be compared to Pokemon Go for the foreseeable future. It was one of the first times that an AR-based game drew such a massive following and, even though it was mainly due to the strength and nostalgia of the Pokemon brand, the game did present ideas that...
I’ve killed a lot of people in virtual reality. Last night alone I wracked up well over 100 kills in just one experience called Pavlov VR.
