Happy New Year!

Well, not yet. Soon, but not yet. However, since we don't generally post on weekends, we thought we'd get this in now at the end of this week...
Games of the Year - 2016

Grand Kingdom:
Our Review
This title's not going to be for everyone, but even though it's
been out for quite some time now, I still pop in pretty regularly.
Well, almost daily for my login rewards, but also just to put a few

December 30, 2016Bulkypix, CGRreview, Four Quarters, Oculus, Oculus Rift, pc, Please Don't Touch Anything, Plug In Digital, review, Virtual Reality, VR

Toukiden 2 is going to be a thing!

A short but incredibly cool game, DEXED might offer somewhat limited content but has a really good grasp on how to make an engaging game in VR. Not so much a tech demo as a proof of concept, I really do wish there was more here, because DEXED is an excellent experience...
