Our Take
While some of these are Gear VR ports or VR adaptation of traditional format games, the bulk of this list is made-for-VR. It's astonishing to me how far many of these games have come in just the few short months since we previewed them for our January Year of VR cover. I'm more excited for the Rift than ever having just seen a number of these stellar games.
