    Under Cover -Meta Quest 2- Review

    Light gun games or on-rail shooters were a staple of any arcade in the 90s. From games like Mad Dog McCree, House of the Dead and Virtua Cop, one particular stand-out title was Namco’s Time Crisis which included a pedal you used to duck and reload adding a new gameplay element rather than just stand there and shoot.

    The first Vertigo never made it to PlayStation but the sequel from a one-man development studio has just ported PSVR2.  Vertigo 2 is a First Person Shooter that sees you trapped on a planet of very alien aliens.

    VR Skater – Review

    VR certainly excels at making people feel cool while making them look really not. That said I doubt I’d look particularly cool tripping over my own knees 50 times trying to operate a real-life skateboard. Wiping out 50 times in VR is much less embarrassing… and less painful.
