‘John Wick Chronicles’ Review

Neo-noir action-thriller John Wick (2014) has come to the Vive in its new VR wave-based arcade shooter John Wick Chronicles. Recreating the look and feel of the film franchise while offering up a heavy slice of gun play and plenty of moving targets, the game can be...

‘SYREN’ Review

SYREN (2017) is a single-player, survival-horror game that will have you sneaking around corners, hiding under virtual desks, and flailing helplessly as you're mauled to death by the world's ghastly "Syrens," a terrifying amalgamation of human/robot/awfulness. Despite some pretty distracting...

‘Knockout League’ Early Access Review

Knockout League (2017) is a single-player, arcade-style boxing game that promises to get your heart pumping as you duck, block, and punch your way to victory. Harking back to NES classic Punch-Out!! (1987), you learn pretty quickly that a storm of punches—the moral equivalent...

‘ROM: Extraction’ Review

Shooting a gun in VR is a pretty powerful experience, and the feeling of being able to look down the sights and blast away the baddies with a well-aimed shot is pretty cathartic to say the least. With games like...

‘Grav|Lab’ Early Access Review

Grav|Lab, despite its Early Access status, might well be the surprise star of the Oculus Touch launch lineup. It doesn't have the glitz and glamour of the bigger releases - and many of its rough edges are in need...
