Preview Arizona Sunshine 2 Could Be the Next PSVR2 Must-Buy
PSVR2 is about to get bloody
Ask anyone that has a PSVR2 and they’ll likely tell you that the tech is great, but the library is lacking. Outside of No Man's Sky or Resident Evil Village, there are very few games that truly revel in the format of VR.

Mini Review Another Fisherman's Tale (PSVR2) - A Charming VR Sequel to a Charming VR Game

News PSVR Co-Op Shooter After the Fall Highlights the Snowbreed Hordes in New Gameplay Video
Cross-play shooter coming this summer
After the Fall's post-apocalypse doesn't look particularly inviting, does it? Not that any post-apocalypse is all that cosy, but this example looks especially harsh.

Review Skyworld - Baffling Design Choices Overshadow Political Charm
Reach for the stars
It’s an all too familiar story when it comes to VR. An interesting concept on paper fails to translate into an enjoyable experience within the virtual playing space, and that’s the exact issue at the heart of Vertigo Games’ Skyworld. The studio’s latest PlayStation VR title may be slightly more original than its previous...

Who lives in a fish shanty over the sea?
Fishing in VR would be great, wouldn't it? While fishing video games have been around for decades, there’s a spirit to the sport that only VR could truly capture.

News PSVR Puzzler A Fisherman's Tale Spins a Yarn on 22nd January
There's always a lighthouse
We quite like the look of A Fisherman's Tale. The premise, in which Bob the fisherman is caught in an infinite loop within his lighthouse, is an odd one, but we can't say we're not intrigued to learn more. Luckily, it won't be too long before we can find out what happens to him -- the PlayStation VR game is due out on...

Fred the dead
There’s no question that if Arizona Sunshine controlled as well as the fantastic Farpoint, it’d be easy to recommend. Much like Impulse Gear’s sci-fi shooter, this sun-baked romp through post-apocalyptic America feels decidedly old-school – but the novelty of virtual reality more than makes up for its rudimentary encounters...
