RIGS: Mechanized Combat League

It’s finally here!

RIGS: Mechanized Combat League It’s basketball in mech suits. Yeah, really. RIGS suits you up in a badass, Avatar-esque suit, and lets you jump around and shoot at other mechs. When your killstreak is high enough, you become the basketball, and have to jump through the ‘hoop’ to score points. It really takes dunking to a whole new level. Driveclub VR Driveclub’s concept was great: drive from coast to coast in the US, enjoy the scenery, and avoid both the cost of flying there and loud-mouthed Americans. Now, you can go one step further with Driveclub VR . Introducing Inspection Mode, you can get all up in the grills of more than 80 cars that have been recreated in immaculate detail, or even just go for a cruise. Shut up and drive. EVE: Valkyrie Another space shooter, EVE: Valkyrie is set in the infamous EVE universe, allowing players to pilot a mech and terrorise the galaxy. Offering both single and muliplayer modes, it’s a great intro to shooters on VR.

PlayStationVR hits shelves in JB this month, and after hearing about it for so long, you can finally have the real- deal in your very own living room.We take a look at what Sony’s Virtual Reality headset is launching with, and what kit you’ll need to use it to its full potential.

Battlezone

awards at E3, and it’s probably one of the easiest to grasp if you’re new to the hardware. You will take control of the Cobra, the most powerful vehicle ever built, as you, mankind’s last hope, battle for survival. Earth needs your help. Hustle Kings VR Who needs a pool table when you’ve got PS VR? Hustle Kings VR lets you actually step your way around the pool table and work out your angles as if you were really banking billiards. Play locally using the DS4 or Move controllers, or challenge your friends online, with multi-tiered leagues and tournaments also available. There’s even a puzzle challenge mode. Play ball.

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood

Until Dawn: Rush of Blood You may have played the original title, Until Dawn , on your PS4 when it first came out, and you were undoubtedly horrified by it if you did. Rush of Blood is the VR accompaniment that is likely to scare you senseless once more, replete with crazy clowns and ethereal tracks – of both the musical and rollercoaster variety. Super Stardust Ultra VR A divergence from your run-of- the-mill shooter, Super Stardust Ultra has you defending your planet from the cockpit of a star fighter. Look to aim, fire to destroy, and vie to become the best Super Stardust pilot in the world as you compete against others in the global leaderboards.

PlayStation VR Worlds

PlayStation VR Worlds Think of it as the EyeToy demo disc of your youth, but with tons more content and better hardware. VRWorlds includes a bunch of addictive titles; you can Luge down a hill avoiding log trucks and other cars, fly around in outer space in a mech suit, and even shoot at villains with an extremely British driver sitting beside you. Carry on. Battlezone It’s tanks in VR. Battlezone won a bunch of “best VR in show”
