‘Seeking Dawn’ Is Hoping to Make VR Gaming Relevant Again
We’ve probably said it before, but VR is in a weird place right now, at least for gaming. Everyone’s pretty sure they want it, but no one really knows what they want. It feels like 90 percent of the releases are those stupid gimmicky games that plagued the Wii’s entire…

Disney Just Created a Magic Bench
Mixed reality could very well be the future of gaming and entertainment. Still, to take the next step beyond putting a dancing hot dog on your coffee table is going to take some ingenuity. The problem, you see, is you're currently experiencing everything in a first-person POV. You're staring at…

You Can Pre-Order Oculus Rift Tomorrow
