If there’s one thing VR excels in, it’s the horror game genre. Traditional flat horror games can be scary, sure, but there’s always a safety blanket there.

[ad_1] Head(sets) up, Readers. Due to a snafu with Meta’s servers during the Quest 3 review window and a last minute embargo change, I’ve only been able to spend around five to six hours with the unit so far. This means the impressions below are based on those first few hours, rather than an extended…

[ad_1] The closed beta for Ubisoft’s Call of Duty clone-alike XDefiant has just gone live and you beta believe I’ve already had the chance to examine the game! In my preview video above, you can expect to see PC gameplay that I captured during an hour long hands-on session as I talk about 13 ways…

[ad_1] Before I start talking about my time with The Last Worker, I feel I should preface this week’s episode of Ian’s VR Corner with a couple of points.

[ad_1] After a slight delay, PSVR2 launch title The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR is finally here, but just how scary is this horror-themed rollercoaster ride? To put it to the test, Aoife and I popped along to Supermassive Games to try out the third level of Switchback VR which is set onboard the SS Ourang…

[ad_1] So here’s a funny story. Thanks to YouTube’s recent tightening of restrictions, the last time I previewed Dead Island 2 the video that I made was age-gated as soon as it was published thanks to the extreme gore on show. OK, so maybe its not that funny because I worked super late into the…

[ad_1] The Eurogamer video team has been all abuzz since Capcom surprise dropped a demo for its upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4, and I’m not just talking about our excitement levels here either! Snappily titled ‘Chainsaw Demo’, this 15 minute gameplay snippet covers the first section of the game as Leon (and his surprisingly…

[ad_1] The PSVR2 is here and in my humble opinion it’s brilliant. One of the best things about it though comes from reading all the comments on this site from new PSVR2 owners who are having their minds blown after finally being able to experience VR for the first time! It’s a wonderful sight to…
