Virtual reality has had a bit of boom since the release of Half-Life: Alyx last month, so we’ve updated our list of best VR games to help reflect that. Indeed, whereas VR games used to be a wasteland of mini-games and glorified scenery wallpapers, there are now more great games than you’ll ever have time to play. To help you sort through the good from the bad, have a read our best VR games list below.
Virtual reality has grown in a short few years from a wasteland of minigames to having more good games than you’ll ever have time to play. Thankfully we created this list of the best VR games so you don’t waste your time. (more…)

Here’s one for the space-goggles crowd to jump on. Croteam, the plucky studio behind the Serious Sam series and the lovely philoso-puzzler The Talos Principle, are running a 26th anniversary Steam sale for the next two days. While offering good deals across the board, the most surprising thing is a bundle of all their virtual reality games, currently going for 92% off its usual price. A cheap and cheerful way to pad your library if you’re skint after spending hundreds of quid on exotic headgear. Below, the must-haves of this sale.

Serious Sam is 18 years old today. It was on March 21st, 2001 that Serious Sam: The First Encounter hit the shelves. Quite literally, as digital distribution was still a distant future back then.
We were young, super passionate and, after a successful tech test launched in the summer of 2000, confident that Serious Sam would resonate well with the gaming community. Turns out, we were right. Serious Sam: The First Encounter caused quite a stir in the gaming community, won dozens of awards (including Gamespot's Game of the Year) and laid the foundation of everything Croteam is today.
Fast forward 18 years later and Serious Sam got numerous sequels, spin-offs and remasters on most platforms. Hell, we even sent Sam to virtual reality and as with everything else - had tons of fun doing so.
Even though he's 18 years old (and legally allowed to buy a beer here in Croatia, finally), Sam's still going strong and we can't wait to take you on another journey of chaos and mayhem with Serious Sam 4.
Until then, we'll raise a glass (of aforementioned beer) in Sam's name and celebrate all of you for being Seriously awesome. Whether you've been demolishing hordes of aliens since day one or just joined our community – we thank you for supporting us from the bottom of our hearts!

Here they are then – the best games to play in virtual reality…and those games are “watching football,” “drinking”, “a nice cup of tea”, “fleeting emotional connection to another human being” and all those other everyday activities you believe to be real, as opposed than a simulation you have been experiencing since you first plugged your frail, mollusc-like form into a headset 19 years ago. SPOOKS!
But, should you persist in maintaining this fantasy, let’s go one level deeper and talk about the entertaining, satisfying or otherwise nifty games available for what is the current VR state-of-the-art in your imagined world: the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. The rival headsets are getting on for a couple of years old now, and in that time there’s been what can feel like a ceaseless storm of new games for them. How to choose, how to choose? Well, start here. These are not the only good’uns, please understand – but they are our favourite virtual realities right now.

Eleven months after entering the Early Access phase, SSVR: The Last Hope is now available as a full release, and it's even better, badder and more epic than we ever imagined! Thanks to the huge support of the gaming community our VR baby duckling grew to be a beautiful, giant, armed-to-the teeth swan with flaming eyes, and we can't wait for everyone to jump in the final version. We also couldn't have done it with your support and feedback – thank you for being the best community and fans any developer could wish for!
With today's epic update The Last Hope introduces randomly generated gameplay, available on five existing and three new levels. This new gameplay option is split to three different modes – Arena, Endless Wave and Daily Challenge.
Arena – Allows players to enjoy endless variety thanks to randomly generated waves of enemies that ensure every playthrough is completely different. Players are challenged with 8 arenas consisting of 4 waves, each playable on 20 difficulties. Beating an arena difficulty awards a weapon upgrade icon.
Endless Wave – In this mode players will face an endless wave of enemies, trying to stay alive as long as possible, and get bragging rights over their peers via global leaderboards.
Daily Challenge – Endless wave on the arena map of the day, where each day a new set of enemies is served so that everyone faces exactly the same challenge and competes against the rest of the world.
Thanks to the co-op update Sam got a chance to call for help and play through any level with a partner, and with the update 1.0 players will be able to play with either Serious Sam or Serious Sammy.
Here's the full changelog. Read it carefully. Or fire up the game and start having fun. Up to you really. ● Added leaderboards for all 3 arena modes. Who can survive Arena the longest? ● Tired of waiting for someone to join your co-op game? Good news! You can now play alone while you wait for someone to join. When your partner joins current wave will restart and you'll be able to play together as normal. Note that for now, even though special co-op difficulty setting is disabled while you're practicing alone, playing alone will default to hard on all difficulty settings other than tourist, which will default to Normal. ● Server search for co-op should now be more efficient at finding available servers. ● Hub now features tooltips that explain what's what. ● Implemented requested interface upgrades. ● Changed parts of logic of the random generation algorithm. ● Added arena score when 4th wave is completed. ● Healing in tourist mode now works correctly. ● Random gameplay now also randomizes music. ● Power-up sliders are better stacked now and can't overlap any more. ● Server list now shows rotating planets. ● Added credits.
