How would you show a friend what VR is like without putting them inside a headset? It’s not an easy question to answer, but two new trailers released today might have the best solution yet. So far, mixed reality has proved an effective way of capturing the magic of VR in a trailer. That process...

‘Kingspray Graffiti’ Review: Bombing Walls With Virtual Spray Paint
The paint drips from the wall, bleeding the blue-green from the eyeballs into the pale, tan skin of Super Saiyan Goku. At least, that’s what I tell myself I’m spray painting on this brick wall, even though it looks more like a smiling potato with yellow grass on top of its head. I’m not much...

‘I Expect You To Die’ Review: A View To A Thrill
I am trying to get a car started. It’s not any car, though. It’s a gorgeous, vintage luxury automobile. It’s also owned by an evil mastermind named Dr. Zor. I am trying to steal it. From a plane. In flight. Because I’m a spy. It’s not every game where you dodge lasers and diffuse a...
‘Ripcoil’ Review: Competitive VR That’s Big On Fun But Short On Content
I’ve never really known what it’s like to punch someone in the face. Every time I have a dream where pugilism becomes necessary — there’s only one donut left at the bakery, someone tells me that Shia Labeouf will never win an Oscar, that type of thing — I never seem to be able to...
‘Quill’ Review: Changing Art as We Know it One Line at a Time
I’m not an artist. I mean sure, in my day I’ve been known to doodle a killer cube and my wildlife paintings have been called “What is this supposed to be?” and “Seriously, your mother and I are worried about you,” from time to time. For the most part, however, I am hopeless with a brush or...
‘Toybox’ Review: A Free Collection of Toys That Proves The Power of Social VR
Like many of the free apps and experiences you can try on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, Toybox isn’t really a game, it’s more of a space. After about five minutes of tinkering with blocks, remote controlled tanks, and fireworks, you’d think you’ve “seen everything there is to see” and you’d mostly be right....
HTC Vive vs. Oculus Rift With Touch – Which Is The Better Roomscale Experience?
“My feet, arms, and legs are so sore,” I tell my wife over dinner. She laughs and tells me I haven’t left home, gone to the gym, or done anything other than write and play VR games the past few days. “I know,” I tell her. “That’s the point.” Playing roomscale VR games is exhilarating,...
‘Arizona Sunshine’ Review: The Best VR Zombie Shooter Yet
Standing back-to-back with my fellow zombie slayer, UploadVR’s very own Joe Durbin, I peer down the barrel of my pistol at the walking corpse that’s stumbling toward me. I glance down at the ammo belt around my waist and notice I’m running low — only about 4 shots left after this clip is done. The...
‘Dead and Buried’ Review: Get Ready To Sweat In This Highly Physical VR Shooter
Reload quickly, aim carefully, and in the name of all that’s decent keep your head down. This is the mantra that every Dead and Buried player should recite if they want to be successful in the latest multiplayer virtual reality shooter. Dead and Buried is one of the first game to be developed almost completely...
