You have a VR headset…now what?!
A little help for new VR users
Wrath of Loki
A point and click “adventure” that would bore you to sleep if it wasn’t so mercifully short. You play as Thor, but don’t get excited as you do nothing godlike in this game whatsoever, and it’s your job to stop Loki from bringing Ragnarok upon the Earth. Downloaded from the Occulus store for $3.50, this game is the definition of the reason why I started reviewing VR ...[Read More]
Ocean Rift
The ocean lies ahead of you in this immersive virtual tour that has you swimming beneath the water surface as you follow and view the scenery around you. Downloaded from the Gear store for a hefty $12, you simply choose the creature you wish to view and swim around taking in the oceans wonder. Controls are simple, look where you wanna swim and hold your finger on the touchpad to swim. Visually t...[Read More]
Twisted Realms
A Tower Defense title that literally has you defending a tower, or the being on top of it depending on what assails you. Requiring only a headset, Bluetooth controller is supported but it’s only for comfort, you build defensive structures to attack the oncoming enemy. There are 3 waves per stage and between each stage you can spend the loot received from completing the previous wave on ne...[Read More]
Suicide Squad Special Ops
The Suicide Squad is here, and if the movie didn’t have you glued to your seat than this definitely won’t. Downloaded from the Oculus store, for free, this super generic game has you playing as 3 squad members; Harley Quinn, Deadshot and a fire dude (I don’t know his name nor did the game bother to tell me what it is). You face wave after wave of monstrosities that assail you f...[Read More]
Smash Hit
This very appropriately named game is an end(ing?) runner which has you throwing balls at objects ahead of you. Requiring only the Gear VR headset (Bluetooth controller is supported) you simply tap and shoot, the game moves on its own. Downloaded from the Oculus store for $3.50, this is a simple game that gets very difficult to master. Visually, this game is very polished, albeit simple. What s...[Read More]
Land’s End
Man oh man! Is this game a step in the right direction. Downloaded from the Occulus store for just under $6, this game is worth every penny. As a body less entity, you are tasked with solving a string of simple puzzles to awaken an ancient civilization…to what end is not really clear. Requiring only the Gear headset (although a gamepad allows you to sit and play) you navigate by simply look...[Read More]
Archer E. Bowman
Archer E. Bowman is a stock wave shooter with some colorful, pleasant visuals. It's not the most in depth wave shooter, but if your looking to kill some baddies, this should scratch that itch.
Tomb of the Golems
Lost your brother in a strange Egyptian temple? Than look no further than Tomb of the Golems. Comprising of 6 quick levels which basically boil down to 6 boss bottles. Armed with a magic staff, you “adventure” within a small area and have to destroy the enemies placed before you, with each level getting slightly more difficult than the next. Graphically, this game is on the anime cartoonish side...[Read More]

The State of Modern Day VR as I see it right now
Herobound Spirit Champion
If you played Herobound First Steps (see my review here) or Herobound Gladiators (review here) you will be instantly familiar with the mechanics and game play of this franchise. However, unlike its predecessor, this is a fully fleshed out game and a way better experience. What was lacking in the 1st game has been inserted here to great compliment. The story is a by the numbers tale about bad s...[Read More]
Darkness Roller Coaster
A decent horror roller coaster experience awaits you, and it's pretty fun!
