Virtually unreal: Why I’m hesitant about PlayStation VR

Gun Monkeys Impressions
Haven’t played enough of the game to feel comfortable reviewing Gun Monkeys yet (connectivity issues – mine and the game’s own – have been preventing me from finding many games, random or otherwise), but I’ve been itching to write, so… yeah.

Sixty Four merges an excellent visual style with a solid upgrade path and interesting meta-narrative to provide a satisfyingly addictive time-sink.
Nidhogg 2 is more Nidhogg, and that’s all it needed to be
Nidhogg was a perfect distillation of local competitive multiplayer games at their best. Where most of its peers focus on four-player mayhem, Nidhogg was more interested in tense one-on-one duels. But even with the lower player count, it was just as tense and thrilling — both to play and to watch — its game of…
