Journey Review

Wind instruments play softly as the camera pans over a wind-swept sand dune before peering into the distant sun.

Mario-like platformer Astro Bot coming to PlayStation VR

I was skeptical at first, but PlayStation VR is actually quite a lot of fun. The first game that I played was The Playroom with its fun mini-games and cute robots.
