Neon8 Review – Oculus Rift

Neon8 Review – Oculus Rift

Neon8 is pretty weird. As you can read in the Oculus store description, you are a warrior in the metaverse and your job is to save the Neon8, which are some sort of strange computer baby, from the in/Zexts. In/Zexts are the bug-like monsters that are trying to devour the Neon8. To do this you run, jump, fly and shoot your way around anywhere from 1 to 6 or more floating islands picking up the defenseless Neon8 which are completely immobile.

Classic VR Giant Review – Affected: The Manor for Gear VR

Classic VR Giant Review – Affected: The Manor for Gear VR

I’ve just finished playing Affected: The Manor and I have to say, this is probably what horror games or experiences in VR ought to be.

But easily the best of the bunch are the two that did not get a soft-launch. Wands and Smashing the Battle.

I told them that I would love a key, but my system isn’t up to spec so I’m not sure it would run. I’m rocking a GTX 770 and a DK2 on this bad boy (I’m referring to my computer.) He said he was going to check with the team to see what they said about it. After a few days I became impatient and asked if he had learned anything and he said they weren’t sure but I was welcome to try it. And try it I did.

My Reaction to Super Mario Odyssey

My Reaction to Super Mario Odyssey

I just finished watching the Nintendo Switch press conference. I had been waiting as patiently as I was able since the October Switch reveal to finally get more information about the Switch. It was an uncomfortable presentation to see as all of the presenters were Japanese and dubbed over in English at times by someone who sounded like his dog had died immediately before stepping up to the mic
