Hide The Corpse: Weekend At Disco Bernie's

It's the 70s, do what everyone else was doing back in the day - no, not disco, but playing Hide the Corpse. In VR. Wait - what?

Toys In The Attic? Toy Trains VR Demo During Steam Next Fest

B-o-r-i-n-g! Trains? No thanks. But hold on a sec… Toy Trains VR doesn’t look all that bad. Retreat to your own space to create a relaxing world in a VR setting. Ok, Something Random could be on to something here. With the potential to be a non-linear sandbox for

Rev Your Engines: GAZZLERS Roar to Life on PS VR2

I don’t have a PS VR2 or a vagina, but I can tell you about Bodyform Goodnight Ultras as a reliable pad. On that note, GAZZLERS is now available on the platform, and I hear it’s pretty good. Already released on Steam, Quest, and PICO VR, this is

Slashy Swipey - Samurai Challenge Is Out Today

There haven’t been many titles that have nailed first-person melee combat, in my opinion, nor have there been that many that fused well with feudal Japan. Well, xeen’s VR Samurai Challenge could be that entry point. Players will get to put their helmets to use(!) and tussle with

Hitchhiker A Mystery Game Gets VR Treatment

Picking up hitchhikers ain’t all that bad – especially when it’s the likes of the VR version of Hitchhiker A Mystery Game, out this week on Meta Quest VR. Developed by Mad About Pandas and published by Versus Evil, this narrative-driven journey was a standout title from last year.

Groove Runner: Rhythm Is A Shooter

Get your groove on as Groove Runner leaves Early Access next week. ‘Get your groove on’? Please… Yeah, well, it was enough of an opener to be able to move on to the next paragraph. A VR rhythm shooter, perhaps a little like Beat Saber, the task at hand is

A Song In The Smoke Is Worth Two In The Bush

Time to dust off the helmet as a new VR game is in town; 17-BIT’s survival adventure, Song in the Smoke – with a release date next month. * A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time To Trip * The Best Of Two Worlds In Shin Chan: Shiro

Sam And Max This Time It's Virtual! On Quest

This time it’s personal; this time it’s Sam and Max This Time It’s Virtual! Yeah, yeah, cliche, I know. However, Sam and Max fans must know that this is now available on Quest, and I’d be tempted to invest in VR for titles like this. * A

YUKI Melts Rogue-Like And Bullet Hell Elements Into A VR Theme Park Ride

YUKI is another reason to purchase VR for Steam. From Arvore, the team that brought as the superb Pixel Ripped 1989 and Pixel Ripped 1995, this time around, we have an anime universe with bullet hell and rogue-like qualities. * A Q&A With imaginarylab, Creators Of Whirlight – No Time

Glyph Switch Review: Roll With It

Though I managed to snag Glyph on the release date for a timely review, it dropped down the pecking order due to a significant update set for the beginning of February. While the game would have been perfectly fine to play, developers Bolverk Games advised that there were a few

Pixel Ripped 1989 PSVR Review: Retro Power (t)Rip

God bless the 1980s. What better way to re-live them (or experience first hand) with a videogame, and a super-duper one at that: virtual reality, it’s the future. The following public service announcement is for Pixel Ripped 1989 on the PlayStation VR. No doubt you’ve read my GOTY

Down And Out But Undisputed King Of The VR Streets

VR doesn’t get enough love, and as a relatively late adopter, I’m pleased to see a title such as Down and Out coming to multiple VR platforms: SteamVR, Oculus, HTC, and later PSVR. From Zatun, Down and Out is a bit like Condemned, only not as gritty visuals,

Hello Puppets! Hello Creepy Sewn-To-Your-Hand Puppet

Time to jump onto the horror bandwagon just before Halloween with Hello Puppets!, though it can be played anytime you’re feeling the need to scare yourself silly. A VR game on Steam from Otherworld Interactive and tinyBuild, you have to solve puzzles to find out why the studio that

Sam And Max This Time It's Virtual! Hits The Road In 2021

Sam And Max This Time It’s Virtual! heading to virtual reality devices in the first half of 2021, sadly, not yet playable on your fridge. I’m dreaming, right? Sam and Max are one of my all-time favourite duos since The Chuckle Brothers. This could be a Gwent game,

The Survios VR Power Pack Launches Into The EU

The Survios VR Power Pack bundle has been announced for the PSVR from developers Survios and Perp Games. Everyone likes old(ish) news, right? I’ve been juggling with a bout of carpal tunnel or similar these past couple of weeks, so my productivity has been a little weak, but

Wands PSVR Review

With a new update, I’ve had the opportunity to compile this Wands PSVR review to give my opinion on how the game fairs. I was mildly sceptical of Wands. On the one hand, you have the creators of Down the Rabbit Hole – easily one of my favourite PSVR titles,

Wands Boasts Some Magic With A Major Update

Get your Wands ready: there’s been a significant update that warrants a replay. New to the game like I am? Even better! If only I had a magic wand to undo all the technical tomfoolery I endured at the tail end of last week, I may have been able

Back Down the Rabbit Hole With Additional Language Support

Down the Rabbit Hole, one of the best PSVR games of 2020, gets some updates with its latest patch. There’s no definitive title of going down the rabbit hole than the literary classic, Alice in Wonderland. Sure, YouTube is an instigator of going deeper and deeper, click after click,

Do Not Open Panic Room Title Coming To PSVR

I don’t feel any less of a person for admitting that the trailer for Do Not Open scares the crap out of me.  Much like the trailer for Asylum, that I covered on Steamin’ Windows, it got me rattled – and that’s a good thing, what with it being

Ghost Patrol VR Busting Ghosts In VR

Don’t deny it, Ghost Patrol VR looks like Luigi’s Mansion, but where it differs dramatically is being a VR exclusive and busting ghosts in a team. But let’s not stop there as the game boasts free-roam when playing it as a multiplayer game, a spookfest developed by

Space Channel 5 VR Kinda Funky News Flash! No Moonwalking

Forget waiting for Shenmue 3 and Final Fantasy VII remake, Space Channel 5 VR Kinda Funky News Flash! is the game you need. If you’re a VR dance fan, that is. Originally released on the ultimately Sega Dreamcast, the franchise disappeared with the end of the platform (unless you

Creed Rise to Glory PSVR Review

After flirting with getting the PSVR since 2016, it now has its position in the house much like the microwave, samurai helmet and the dog’s bed. It’s a bit of a glorified ornament, but glad to have the option to play it anytime. Thinking that it was the
