We’re another week into 2017 and the new Vive releases are still a bit lighter than usual. There was no massive list-breaking entries this week, but we do have a game that steps things up in a specific genre. Wave shooters are a dime a dozen in the VR but Drunk or Dead takes the...

The sluggish start to the new year rolls into week two of releases for the Oculus Rift. Gear VR, however, fares much better this week with the launch of two intriguing new apps that should keep gamers satisfied. We’re still waiting for 2017 to kick it into high gear (pun intended) with VR releases, though....

2016 is over. That in and of itself is a relief, and hot on the heels of the new year was the Consumer Electronic’s Show in Las Vegas.

As a result of this trepidation...

Other than the mobile solutions, the additional peripherals are not at consumer friendly price points yet and likely won’t be for a while, but there are events being held around the world and even some advertising...

I was drawn to Wanderer: The Rebirth through its curious premise; a Monster Hunter or Dark Souls-esque third-person action game in which you take on a small handful of bosses using the Vive’s position-tracked wands. I had no idea if this was going to work, but it sounded unlike anything else in a time when...

360 videos can do a lot of things, but what makes them the most remarkable is their ability to transport you inside new locations. Places that many of us would never be able to go are now open to exploration and discovery. For example, odds are that most of us will never be President of...
