Many players around the world have played the game of pinball. Everyone has their favorite themed table they enjoy. There is just something about trying to aim the ball and score as many points as possible without the ball trying to go past your flippers. We have all played a game where you can tell there was homage played to the pinball game. But what if you could get to be within the game itself? Do you think you would… Read more.

Quest 3 Reviews
As Virtual Reality gamers, we hold specific expectations for the features of Quest 3 & Quest 3S. It's happened to us all at some point. As we strive to find our comfort zone and immerse ourselves in the game, the warning of low battery for the headset forces us to pause and recharge. We think we can judge how long we might have, and then, when it happens, we go dark. Not because the moon is out, but the battery… Read more.
The Quest 3 and soon-to-be 3S Touch Plus controllers are pretty sweet and allow you to do amazing things within Virtual Reality. Out-of-the-box, they feel great in the hands even though not everyone may use the wrist straps that come with them when they should. Sure, most of us have a pretty good grip on the controllers, but what if you could have a better experience with them while also making sure they don't accidentally fly out of your hands… Read more.
If you have received your Meta Quest 3 recently or have had it since day one, you know how impressive the tech is with Virtual Reality. With the improved controls and specs, the Quest 3 has become one of the must-have headsets. But there are some items about the headset that some may wish could change from the default that came with the headset. Two of those items would be the facial interface and the head strap that comes standard… Read more.
When was the last time you went to an arcade? When you went, was it for a party or to hang out with your friends? For some, going means collecting some tickets to turn in for prizes, for others, it can simply mean trying to get the highest score so they can get their names next to it, and for some it can be merely creating their own arcade experience in their own home. But does the developer, Nosebleed Interactive,… Read more.
Picture your current life in your mind. Everything appears to be going well. Your life is complete with everything you desire, including consistency. Suddenly, it occurred. Against all odds, the one thing we believed to be impossible occurred. I'm referring to the scenario of a zombie apocalypse. In the current situation, would you be capable of surviving alone today, or would we need to form a group for mutual protection? I think some would try to survive on their own,… Read more.
The life of a pirate is a very interesting one. Some perceive pirates of thievery, while some envy and wonder what life they truly live. Some people experience their encounters with pirates firsthand. But others only dream of what it would be like to live the life of a pirate. If you could live your life as a pirate, what would you do? Would you search for treasure or try to hide the treasure you have? Would you sail from… Read more.
If you think about the different periods through time, which one do you think would be the most exciting and challenging to try and start a life in? Would it be when WWI was starting? Maybe it would be in the Wild West? Or maybe, you would want to try your luck in Japan. But if we were to think about the excitement of it all, we would also need to look at which would be the most challenging. Maybe,… Read more.
Have you ever seen a ghost? What about being asked if you believe in them? What would you say? Some feel that seeing is believing, while some believe in seeing. The paranormal, for many, is something worth believing, as there are more questions than answers about what happens in the afterlife. But let me ask you this: What would you do if you saw the very thing that you have been looking for? Would you believe your eyes, or would… Read more.
What if your calling leads you to some challenging obstacles? Would you still attempt to fulfill what you were meant to do, or would you hesitate in the moment? But what if after becoming the hero and saving Earth, what do you think you would do then? Maybe you will start a new career. Or maybe you would still train in case anything were to happen.. It is interesting to think about what we think we would do versus what… Read more.
There is a variety of sports that can be played. From Hockey to Football to Tennis to Cornhole. People love to watch them as well as to play them. Have you ever played a sport and wished that you could combine them in some way? Take, for example, the combination of Baseball and Basketball in BASEketball. Sure, at first, people thought it wouldn't work, but with dedication and allowing anyone to play, it became a new sensation. Nevertheless, certain sports… Read more.
The Touch Plus controllers for the Quest 3 are pretty outstanding. They feel good in the hands; they are light and improve on the things we love about them. But as much as people love them, something stands out about the Touch Plus controllers for the Quest 3. Maybe it's the ergonomic button layout or the missing ring that has been the standard of the previous generations. One thing that I wish the controllers had was a little more grip.… Read more.
Regarding the platformer genre, what do you look for the most? Is it the characters? Maybe it's the level design? Or maybe, it's the entertainment of it all? For me, I consider the above factors, along with the art style, and evaluate if something new is being brought to the table. Since the 80s, platformers have entertained us, progressed, and have become more challenging over the years. So does the developer, Toast Interactive, bring the fun and challenges to the… Read more.
Skydiving is a sport not for the faint of heart but for those with no regrets, no fear, and the no looking-back attitude. Many people have taken the jump only to show this newfound version of themselves. While those who would think two or ten times before even attempting, the select few will jump like there is no tomorrow. But for those who dare not try it in real life, you can try it at home thanks to Virtual Reality.… Read more.
Imagine a ship that was made out to be unsinkable and perfect in every way. But it wasn't until that evening, on April 14, 1912, that the unthinkable happened, the Titanic sank in 2 hours and 40 minutes. The 1,496 lives would never have the chance to try and get off the ship as it and the souls sunk. And as tragic as it was, what remains is at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean. But if you had… Read more.
Just think for a moment and try to imagine a land full of colors, energy, and royalty. What do you think you would do there? Would you try and visit with anyone you could or do you think you would be the shy type? What if you were the prince or princess of the land, would you invite everyone you could to your castle or keep everything as secret as could be? What if there was a book about your adventures,… Read more.
When you think about animation, there are different kinds of styles. You have hand-drawn, motion caption, etc., but probably one of my favorite types of styles is stop-motion. Maybe it's the physical manipulation in small amounts, maybe it's the characters, or maybe it's just the way everything comes together when everything is all said and done. From T.V. to the movies there is just something about seeing these characters that were created and allowing them to come alive in front… Read more.
The world of the detective trying to solve the case is something that is not new, but the setting of the story is what will be remembered most of all. But it is when you can blend that story with the immersive cinematography that embodies the characters that make the adventure. But has developer, Peanut Button, found the formula to continue to intertwine robots and the 50's aesthetics? Let's find out with Retropolis 2: Never Say Goodbye for Quest 2,… Read more.
When it comes to Virtual Reality, there is something we all enjoy, and that is being immersed in the worlds that we are in. Part of that immersion is how well we can make things out. And no matter how much the tech improves each time, if we don't keep a check on our eyes, things may not be as fun as they could be. Even when our eyes put in the extra work to make things out., there are… Read more.
When you think of survival, what comes to mind? Is it something that you foresee as something that is out in the wild or could be the world as it is now? When it comes to surviving the unknown, things are sure to be a challenge for any who attempts it. But the knowledge of the skills, no matter how strange they may seem, can be a true test of one's abilities. But do developer, Descent VR Productions Inc., and… Read more.
When you think of Virtual Reality, some might think about the games and experiences and how it can just take you away to become whomever and go wherever you want. But as the technology behind VR continues to evolve, so do its headsets. Virtual Reality headsets have been around for decades with such, from the first The Sword of Debacles in 1968 to Sega's own VR headset, the Sega VR that was never released to Nintendo's own Virtual Boy, which… Read more.
