Project Morpheus

If you haven't heard by now, you're not a gamer. A couple weeks ago, Sony reaveled it's own VR (virtual reality) headset for the ps4! At first, not much was thought of it, because it was only a concept. But recently sony unvealed it's vr at a convention, and it's the real deal. Sadly, it's not for ps3, but it's coming to console. Along with that, the full oculus rift is on it's way. Sony has even requested help from oculus, which dispurses rumors of an upcoming rivalry anytime soon. 

Looks a bit different than oculus, huh? Sony added it's own futuristic look and feel to vr, and also claims to offer better "head tracking". No release date is available yet. 

Don't Let Go!

Another great Oculus Rift game, "Don't Let Go!". It's less of a game, and more of a interactive video, but it's very interesting. The whole point of the game is to, as the title suggest, not let go. You must hold the. CTRL buttons, while things like flys, spiders, and even dinosaurs try do distract you. Doesn't sound very bad, but when you have the Oculus on, and headphones... It's pretty scary. 

The game ends after you past the challenges. Pretty short, but free and fun. Go download it!

Terrorift

Today's game is terrorirft! This game is native to the Oculus, so if you happen to use an Oculus for this game, things like motion sickness will not be a problem. This game is perfect when it comes to tension. Haunting music and crying little girls only add to the sharp coners of the dungeon as you collect pages. Monsters wait for you to get close, then chase you until you're out of sight. No weapons, no tools. Just collect the pages, and stay alive. 

Now, personally, I think the game could be a bit better design-wise. The halls are perfect but when it comes to rooms, the are often too big and lighting is very unpoportionate. Design aside, this game is amazing and terrifying. Looking for a good scare, play terrorirft! It's free.

Oculus Rift

Hello everyone, today's topic: The Oculus 

Now, to some people (most people that call themselves a gamer), this is old news. But to some, it's unheard of. Now, what is "The Oculus"? Oculus rift is a virtual reality headset! Sadly, for now it's only for PC,  but I don't care. There are already so many games formatted for Oculus, and if they're not, you can use VorpX to format it (as far as I understand). The Rift provides two lenses inside (one for each eye) to make one 3D picture. It's insane! Turning your head turns your character, so it turns your entire surrounding into a game. As amazing as it sounds, it has it's faults. Playing some games can cause bad motion sickness. Also, the Oculus cannot operate at 1080p yet, so graphics may be downscaled for now. Horror games are devastatingly scarey, since you can't really look away or obstruct your view unless you close your eyes. But, faults aside, when the finished Oculus comes out, I will put all my money towards it.
