Space dogfighting fans are in for a treat this week, as House of the Dying Sun, previously known as Enemy Starfighter, has emerged on Steam early access. Man, it is pretty damn good.

It's a well known fact that VR gives some people motion sickness. So what did the creators of Garry's Mod and Rust decide to do? Build a rollercoaster game and name it after vomiting, obviously.
Like chocolate and peanut butter, Minecraft and virtual reality go together about as well as two things can. This is easily one of the best things I've done in VR.
Valve and HTC's Vive is the most impressive VR experience out there, but the majority of its games feel like glorified tech demos. Mystery adventure The Gallery -- Episode 1: Call of the Starseed is a bit meatier.
Sure, they call it Job Simulator, but they could've called it Not Being Very Good At Your Job Simulator.
Valve's VR demo reel The Lab is extremely cool. It's also frustrating. It's got some of the most impressive virtual reality demonstrations I've seen, but I wish there were more to it.

I sit down when I play VR games, so I like it when the character I'm playing is also sitting. Turns out I also like it when the character I'm playing has telekinesis. In the stylish puzzle game Esper 2, you play as a telekinetic spy who sits. Best of both worlds!
There's no official VR version of Dark Souls (yet), which leaves the door open for Chronos, a very cool Oculus Rift launch game that manages to be both a VR showcase and a good game on its own.
The Oculus Rift VR headset is officially out this week, and there are a bunch of games to play on it. One of the most well-known is the outer-space dogfighting game EVE: Valkyrie, which is about as impressive a technical showpiece for virtual reality as I've seen.
