Crytek’s Robinson: The Journey [Review: 7/10] won’t be a PlayStation VR exclusive for much longer; the game’s coming to Oculus Rift next month.

At least one organization is working...
Every once in a while you get to see not one but two legends occupy a single stage. It happened for music lovers when Billy Joel went on tour with Elton John. It happened for sports fans when LeBron James joined Dwayne Wade in Miami (he came back so I can talk about it again without retching)....
Mojang’s Minecraft has evolved in a lot of different ways over the last five years, but adding support for the Oculus Touch controllers should have been its most dramatic departure from the original survival formula yet.
