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...
I Expect You to Die Is the Most Fun I’ve Ever Had in VR
Escaping deadly traps by solving silly puzzles has never been this much fun (outside of a real-life escape room, that is). The post I Expect You to Die Is the Most Fun I’ve Ever Had in VR appeared first on WIRED. Source: I Expect You to Die Is the Most Fun I’ve Ever Had in...
Oculus Touch Review: Reach into Rift
‘Step Into Rift’ had been Oculus’ mantra since the launch of the headset back at the end of March this year, but with the launch of Oculus’ dedicated motion controllers, Touch, players can finally ‘Reach Into Rift’ too. Touch has been a long time coming. Oculus has been criticized for launching Rift with a packed...
Oculus Touch Review: The World’s Best VR Controller
Oculus Touch officially launches tomorrow and when it does it will make the Oculus Rift a more viable and powerful virtual reality platform than ever before. There’s a lot of pressure on Touch to be a success. The Rift’s biggest competitor, the HTC Vive, was able to enjoy the better part of a year as the only PC-powered...
