With the Oculus Rift<\/a> which will be in the hands of game developpers before the end of the year, I think we will have a great next year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So I thought I’d find videos of some of the VR games I’ve played. It would probably be worth making a list of all existing VR games, so if you have links for them, I’ll take that and make a page on the VRGeeks<\/a> website!<\/p>\n[Update<\/strong>: a more up to date list is here: http:\/\/www.vrgeeks.org\/wiki\/vr-games<\/a>]\n

In my definition of a VR game you at least need to have head tracking, so this rules out any Nintendo’s Virtual Boy or Sega VR<\/a> games.<\/p>\n

What got me into the field was ZoneHunter. Being able to shoot around and look in a different direction was a founding experience of the teenage me.<\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_TtHrgR9GNg[\/youtube]\n

Then Atrium Experience<\/a> was also a great experience:<\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pagVgeFaR5Q[\/youtube]\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MrbwiwGTj0U[\/youtube]\n

Of course all the VRGeeks games<\/a>:<\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MdCBsKz16VQ&feature=player_embedded[\/youtube]\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=2vdejfjLX_Y&feature=player_embedded[\/youtube]\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QFZSFEoZZC8&feature=player_embedded[\/youtube]\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u1FBglwtALk&feature=player_embedded[\/youtube]\n

I didn’t play this one but it seems fun:<\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CG__PZzNfkw[\/youtube]\n

I don’t mean no shameless plug, but VR Angry Bot is quite nice:<\/p>\n[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QSXxjr1SnqA[\/youtube]\n

And finally Doom3 that I tested last week in the Oculus Rift:<\/p>\n

Then you also have Cave Unreal Tournament<\/a>, CaveQ3<\/a>, Panoramic Quake III, <\/a> … There is also a nice list on the VRTifacts <\/a>website but it’s not working for me..<\/p>\n
