Review Trover Saves the Universe - A Frenzied, F-Bomb Fuelled Fever Dream
Where do we even start
In a way, Trover Saves the Universe almost feels more like a Rick and Morty video game than Rick & Morty: Virtual Rick-ality. It shares the zany, off-the-wall humour of the popular show, but also its sense of adventure. You join the titular character on a journey across the cosmos to thwart an evil power, and no...
Review Blood & Truth - Confident Cockney Crime Drama Is a PSVR Dream

News Feelreal VR Mask Hopes to Enhance Virtual Reality with Smells, Air, and Moisture
Compatible with PlayStation VR
We don't really want to imagine what Skyrim VR smells like - it looks like it stinks, let's be honest - but what if you could get your nose involved in the virtual reality experience? Moreover, would feeling the wind in your face or mist from a waterfall deepen your immersion? These multisensory experiences are what...

Hands On Firewall Zero Hour Revived with Operation: Nightfall, But Old Problems Persist

News Pilot the TARDIS in Doctor Who: The Edge of Time, Coming to PSVR in 2019
About time
Doctor Who has had a pretty rocky relationship with video games. The most recent on PlayStation was 2011's Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock, and it was a pretty big disappointment. However, with refreshed interest in the storied sci-fi series, mostly thanks to Jodie Whittaker, it makes sense to revisit the idea. Doctor Who: The Edge of Time...

Review Jupiter & Mars - Nautical Neon Adventure Is a Little Shallow
Under the sea
Yes, Jupiter & Mars has some similarities to Ecco the Dolphin -- you use echolocation, whales are revered as god-like entities, and there's a sci-fi slant to the story. This PS4 adventure doesn't go quite as insane as the Mega Drive classic, however, instead opting for a more down to Earth narrative about, well, Earth. Taking...

The headline-grabbing falcon is most definitely...

Soapbox Sony's Done an Outstanding Job with PSVR
Credit where credit's due
I remember prior to the release of PlayStation VR there was a lot of chatter on this site in particular that Sony would scrap the headset like previous platforms should it fall short of expectations.

Stark stuff
Last week’s trailer for Iron Man VR did not paint the game in the best possible light, but as soon as we learned that it’s a collaboration between Sony and Marvel Games – the same fruitful partnership which ultimately resulted in last year’s Marvel’s Spider-Man – we knew that all would be okay.
