Hands On Justice League VR Is One of the Worst PSVR Experiences So Far
Flash in the pan
With a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 41 per cent, Justice League has divided opinion.

Review The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR (PS4)
Fus Ro Dayum
The story of the Dragonborn is one endlessly retold. Quite literally, in fact – this is the third time that The Elder Scrolls V has released on a PlayStation platform in little over five years.

Hardware Review PSVR Review - Should You Buy PlayStation VR?
Virtual revolution
At least I can say I have lived. Sony's award-winning 1999 commercial hinged on one simple, indelible message: PlayStation has the power to transform you into someone you're not; the capacity to transport you to places that you've never been to before. And in the near-two decades since that promise was made, the Japanese giant's...

Boo
Yes, yours truly screamed. Are you happy now Simon Fitzgerald?

Much like Until Dawn before it, The Inpatient cheats with its jump scares – but goddamn is it effective. (Everyone was too...
Review League of War: VR Arena (PS4)
Basic combat training
If there’s one thing League of War: VR Arena will be remembered for, it’s that utterly atrocious name.

The question...

News Skyrim VR Loots a New PlayStation VR Bundle
Dragonborn again
One of the biggest criticisms pointed at PlayStation VR is that it lacks big games, and while there’s a discussion to be had about whether lengthy releases are the right fit for virtual reality, titles don’t come much bigger than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR. Thus, Sony has announced a new bundle for North America, which comes...
News Gran Turismo Sport Grabs a PlayStation VR Bundle for the Holidays
Speed freak

God almighty
Even ignoring the fact that Megaton Rainfall was created by one man, this game is a technical marvel on the scale of a No Man’s Sky or other similar procedurally generated games.

Hands On How Does Gran Turismo Sport Fare with PlayStation VR?
Ups and downs
Around about a year ago, we hopped inside Gran Turismo Sport’s cockpit with a PlayStation VR headset on and walked away somewhat unimpressed.

Hands On Shining a Light on PlayStation VR Puzzler Light Tracer
Beam cast
It can seem, at times, like everyone is making the same kind of PlayStation VR games. This isn’t true, of course, as there’s plenty of variety on the headset – but there is an overabundance of cockpit-based mech games and shooting galleries. Light Tracer deserves kudos, then, for at least trying its hand at something new –...

PlayStation VR, in this author’s opinion, is at its best when it’s offering brief bursts of immersive gameplay like SUPERHOT VR and Batman: Arkham VR.

Get in line
Wherever there’s a gaming convention, you can usually rely on PlayStation having a presence. PAX West 2017 will be taking over Seattle from 1st September, and Sony will be there with over 20 titles for you to get your greasy hands on – and, in the case of PlayStation VR, your eyeballs, too. Headliners on the PlayStation 4 include...
News Shooty Fruity Brings Combat to Convenience Stores on PS4 This Year
Green grocers
Multitasking looks set to be taken to the next level in Shooty Fruity, a new PlayStation VR game in development at nDreams and Near Light. Launching later this year, the title sees you starting a job at Super Megamart, where you’ll be scanning everyday items as part of your mind-numbing new role. The twist? Giant fruit are on the...
News PlayStation VR Gun-'Em-Up StarBlood Arena Scores PS4 Demo
Play the game
We criticised StarBlood Arena for focusing on online multiplayer given PlayStation VR’s smaller install base, but to be fair to the hero-based affair it has managed to attract a very small but very dedicated audience. And developer White Moon Dreams will be hoping to add to that this week with the release of a demo for the title...
News Megaton Rainfall Looks Like the Ultimate Superman Game
Full PlayStation VR support, native 4K on PS4 Pro
Look, the name’s so bad it actually irritates us, but Megaton Rainfall sounds super promising. Launching on the PlayStation 4 with full optional PlayStation VR support, the Pentadimensional Games developed superhero sim sees you assume the role of a superbeing who can scale the world (and...
News You Won't Get Light Tracer's Song Out of Your Head
PlayStation VR puzzler has a catchy beat
Wait a minute! Light Tracer may be a neat new PlayStation VR puzzle title – but its theme song is the star of the show. We dare you to play the trailer embedded above, because you ain’t getting this tune out of your head. The title sees you assume the role of a mythical virtual reality deity, using the...
News Sony to Publish Sound-Based Psychological Horror Stifled
Hear your fear
Sony will publish psychological PlayStation VR horror Stifled, developer Gattai Games announced at the Asian edition of PSX over the weekend. The title works similarly to the recently released Perception, where you must use echolocation in order to “see” with sound. The title leverages the built-in microphone on the Japanese...
News The Lost Bear Is a PlayStation VR Platformer Inspired by Puppet Shows
Ready teddy
We’re starting to see a few PlayStation VR games leverage the technology to create interactive dioramas, and The Lost Bear is the latest of these. Due out this month, the platformer utilises virtual reality to place you inside a kind of theatre, which changes as the story progresses. You’ll be using your DualShock 4 to interact with...
Red dead riojasaurus
Dino Frontier blends elements of city building, farming, and animal rearing in a pre-historic world inhabited by sharp-shooters from the Wild West. If that sounds like a curious concoction, then you may be relieved to learn that this PlayStation VR experiment from Uber Entertainment fuses its many ideas better than it has any...
July2017
Castle crashers
Zen Studios must be contractually obliged to port CastleStorm to every viable platform, because it seems to get around like a king on a crusade. It’s a weird one because the game has never, in this author’s opinion, been all that exciting – but people must enjoy it otherwise it wouldn’t keep popping up like a bad smell...
Smash 'n' grab
Smashbox Arena is like a goofy PlayStation VR mix of SOCOM and dodgeball. Wielding two required PlayStation Move motion controllers, you’re armed with suction weapons that can be used to catch balls and propel them in the opposite direction. Your goal is to fling said spherical shapes in the direction of your opponent in order to...
News Virtual Reality Sport Sparc Enters Play on 29th August
Speed ball
CCP Games’ energetic PlayStation VR future sport Sparc will enter the field of play on 29th August, the developer has announced. The title – which sees you wielding two PlayStation Move controllers to throw and bat away balls in virtual reality arenas – was a big draw at E3 2017, and aims to do for Sony’s headset what Rocket...
News Sony Showcases Several Promising PlayStation VR Titles at ChinaJoy 2017
And they're all coming to the West
Sony’s trying really hard to stimulate the console development scene in China, and in addition to its adaptation of Monkey King: Hero Is Back, it’s also partnered with a bunch of developers to bring brand new content to PlayStation VR on a global basis. As part of its ChinaJoy 2017 press conference overnight,...
Labyrinth and repeat
The tale of Theseus isn’t exactly a bad starting point for a video game. One of Greek mythology’s more popular yarns, it obviously depicts the titular warrior’s conflict with a murderous Minotaur – and his relationship with Ariadne, a descendent of Zeus. And that’s exactly the subject of this third-person PlayStation...
Micro machines
Tiny Trax is one of those games that’s just really good, y’know? Velocity 2X developer FuturLab rarely ever disappoints, and its PlayStation VR debut is predictably spot-on. A vibrant Scalextric-style slot racer, this arcade delight places you inside 12 fantasy dioramas and hands you control of one of several miniature vehicles,...
Slow whoa
On paper, SUPERHOT VR is probably the coolest game ever made; in practice, the first-person shooter is merely a very good PlayStation VR release. The homicidal hit assigns you the detached digits of an assassin in a whitewash computer simulation where time only moves when you do. Your objective? To annihilate a band of polygonal villains...
Video SUPERHOT VR Is Outrageously Entertaining on PlayStation VR
Killer app (literally)
If you’re in need of a reminder of how ridiculously amazing PlayStation VR is, then look no further than SUPERHOT VR – an outrageously entertaining first-person puzzler that sees you improvising in slow-mo against murderous red dudes. The game basically plugs you into The Matrix, as time only moves when you do. You need to...
