'Insane Robots' from Playniac is a very neat concept and a game that is fun to play, but lacks long-term staying power, mostly due, unfortunately, to its elimination of CCG mechanics.

Though technologically outstanding, with truly amazing speeds and pace, this futuristic racer using the Unity engine lacks the magic of 'Wipeout' and delivers only an average experience.

Despite the addition of haptics, Lumines Remastered is basically just a terrific cosmetic re-do of a phenomenal games series.

From what I saw in the extended demo at PAX East, this game really tries to break the mold and get more of a mainstream North American audience interested.

I cannot wait to dig into this game and create my own cold war spy empire to counter the evil of the world.

One of the better Virtual Reality games in recent years was Wilson’s Heart from Twisted Pixel.  It was an immersive terrific experience from a developer that was previously only known for 2D action games. This year they will be releasing a new game for the Oculus Rift Virtual Reality Platform …

'Dauntless' was a lot of fun to experience with others, and the Open Beta finally launching on May 24 will be a great boost to the in-game population. The title oozes with personality and over the last year has gone a long way towards making me excited to experience more of this game.

Visually striking and with plenty of raw speed, the 'Wipeout'-like 'Antigraviator' impressed me at PAX East. 'Insane Robots' proved to be incredibly interesting and just plain fun.

What I saw in the 'Above' trailer clicked a whole pile of my buttons and I wanted to see more as soon as possible.

Three upcoming games for the Oculus Rift show the potential of virtual reality gaming, for both action and relaxation.
