Review Golem - The World Is Not Enough to Save This PSVR Title from Itself
Rock slide
Have you ever had one of those games you were really excited for, but once the game finally comes out you end up not just disliking it, but actually kind of hating it? Enter Highwire Games’ Golem. Despite being delayed over and over since 2015’s announcement, it doesn’t feel like a stretch to say more delays may have been the right...
Mini Review Audica - Harmonix's PSVR Rhythm Game Is Right on Target
Rock n' roll is king
PlayStation VR isn’t hurting for good experiences, but it’s time to throw another on the stack. Rhythm kings Harmonix are back with Audica, a VR music experience where you shoot at notes as they fly towards you. While its gameplay may be more comparable to the Persona dancing games, the gameplay loop is every bit as...
Mini Review Last Labyrinth - PSVR's Most Baffling Experience
At least it's the last one
Every so often, a video game will come along that seemingly defies all preconceived logic and common sense. That can be a good thing, or it can go the way of The Quiet Man. Unfortunately, Last Labyrinth is a PlayStation VR title that very much belongs in the latter category. Its core mechanic is sound enough, if a little...

News Beat Saber Crosses Paths with Rocket League, DLC Available Now in Both Games
Rocket beats
Two of PlayStation 4's finest indie titles have crossed over, and it seems like a pretty good fit. Rocket League has accrued quite the soundtrack over the years, and so it makes sense that some of these songs make their way into the popular PSVR rhythm title, Beat Saber. A new song pack for the game is available now for £7.39 / $8.99,...

Hands On Iron Man VR Is the Next Big Thing for PSVR
Stark would be proud
It feels like major PlayStation VR releases have dried up as of late.

News Free Update Adds New Challenges to PSVR Shooter Blood & Truth
Available now
One aspect of Blood & Truth we love is its "gun-fu" combat. Sure, you can blast away enemies as in any other shooter, but this PlayStation VR action game takes things up a notch, allowing you to spin weapons around, reload in mid-air, and more. It makes for extremely expressive and tactile shooting ranges, and it's great fun...
