New PlayStation VR Releases For The Week Of 02/05/17
Uh… still playing Resident Evil 7? Probably not; it’s not exactly the longest game ever. However, you might want to consider this week for that Madhouse difficulty run through you’ve been considering or to jump into the first DLC if you haven’t picked that up yet. Once again there’s really not much worth talking about...
Thunderbird Devs Don’t Consider 180-Degree Experiences ‘True VR’
Platform exclusivity, project funding, and cross-platform compatibility are hot-button issues in the VR industry. Many developers do their best to bring their games to as many devices as possible, but it doesn’t always work out that way. With the release of the Oculus Touch controllers late last year, we’re getting closer to a world of...
VRGE VR Headset Dock Passes 50% Mark on Kickstarter with One Week Remaining
The impressively svelte VRGE VR headset dock has passed the 50% mark of its $30,000 Kickstarter campaign goal. With support for the Vive, Rift, and PlayStation VR (and their respective controllers), the dock appears to be a smart accessory for VR early adopters, but it won’t be a sure thing until the campaign is fully funded.

With the news that WebVR is now supported in Google’s official Android Chrome browser and Daydream-supported phones have the ability to pop into virtual reality experiences just by clicking on a simple hyperlink, we’re more impatient than ever for WebVR to make its way to the standard Chrome browser for PC.

John Wick Chronicles Review: The Keanu Reeves Simulator
John Wick Chronicles feels like one giant metaphor for Keanu Reeves’ acting career. The man has starred in some of the best films Hollywood has ever birthed, such as The Matrix, Point Break, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, and of course the John Wick series. I’d also throw in Hardball as a personal favorite, but...
Star Trek: Bridge Crew Delayed Again, Adds Original U.S.S. Enterprise
Legendary Nintendo game developer Shigeru Miyamoto (Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong) once said, “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.” Ubisoft is taking that sentiment to heart as they have delayed Star Trek: Bridge Crew a second time, this time to May 30th, 2017. This delay isn’t specific to Star Trek...

Ubisoft’s ‘Star Trek: Bridge Crew’ Delayed Again, but You’ll Be Able to Pilot the Original Enterprise
Ubisoft’s upcoming VR multiplayer game Star Trek: Bridge Crew is delayed again, this time to May 30th. The good news? Ubisoft is letting you choose the good ol’ NCC-1701 from ‘The Original Series’ (TOS) so you can play solo as captain, or as an officer in a crew of up to four online players. Star Trek: Bridge...
The Big Question: What Are Valve’s Three VR Games?
It’s an urban myth that Valve hates 3’s. The beloved studio has taken us up to Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal 2, Left4Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, and DOTA2, but it can can never quite bring itself to complete a trilogy. This week, though, the company announced that it’s breaking that curse in...
