It depends, really, on whether you're connecting to a PC or not... and whether you plan to do work with it. There are plenty of Windows-compatible headsets, but they vary in display resolution. Higher is better, and so is a larger field of view. Headsets can refresh at up to 120Hz now, and the faster they can refresh, the more natural and smooth VR movement feels. Most PC VR headsets have similar controller designs, and can bridge to work tools and apps. For portability or stand-alone comfort, the Quest 2 doesn't have any competition right now. For gamers with a game console, the PlayStation VR is the only option, but you'll probably want to wait for the PSVR 2 if you have a PS5.

The old world of phone-based VR headsets -- like the Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream -- are basically dead. A good number of the current iPhone, Android and VR app options don't even work with the old mobile VR goggles. The Quest 2 does have a phone app for streaming content for a parent to monitor, poker Pkv and can receive phone notifications and sync some health data for workouts, but it's still not fully integrated with phones. If smartphone-based VR comes back, it will more likely be in the form of small headsets that plug into phones via USB-C for VR content, VR gaming and other uses.

But I was soon back to gaming, thanks to that swinging mechanic. Press a button to send Spider-Man Tarzanning through the air, release it to have him drop. Up, down, up, down, with a few embellishments along the way. It's a masterpiece of momentum, and it never gets boring.

Black also made a surprise in-person appearance at the New York Comic Con panel on Thursday, where he threw a cool spiky shell backpack to a lucky member of the crowd. He recalled playing the original 1981 Donkey Kong at the Mini Mart in Culver City, California, and called Bowser one of the greatest video game villains of all time.

Augmented- and mixed-reality headsets aren't ready for everyday use yet, although the next generation of VR headsets could start blending AR into the mix using passthrough cameras. We update this best VR headset list periodically, but note that prices are subject to change.

'The game where the player suppresses an uprising of an oppressed race who are pushing back against their own disenfranchisement, disarmament, slavery, and murder, in order to maintain the supremacy of the dominant culture. 

Gamers have decided to boycott a new Harry Potter release in an 'anti-Semitism' row over its 'Goblin Rebellion' plot which offers players the chance to battle 'oppressed race who are fighting against their own slavery'.

I'm doing this because of a recent(ish) change of policy at Sony. They used to be very guarded about their ‘PlayStation exclusives' — which is to say, games that could only be played on PlayStations and not any other console.
