The timer ticks down toward zero. We tear across the Boneyard, one of Halo: Reach‘s best multiplayer maps, my good friend Rus driving with me sitting shotgun. I’m clutching the blue flag in hands that would be sweating if they were real.

Minecraft Using The Oculus Rift. I Need This In My Life.

Ever since I posted our Oculus Rift hands-on video on Kotaku, I’ve had people discuss which games would work, which would be terrible. One common thread in this discussion is Minecraft — placing yourself, via the Oculus Rift, into an incredible Minecraft universe? Oh man. Yes. Yes please. Now, using the Minecrift mod, it has become possible to use the Oculus Rift with Minecraft. I must do this now.
