Hands On Hitman: World of Assassination Is a Must-Play on PSVR2
VR port finally hit its target
Hitman in VR is a match seemingly made in heaven, but whether it was on PSVR, PCVR or Meta Quest, IO Interactive has never seemed to get it quite right.

Talking Point Is PSVR2 Worth Buying In 2025?
New price, same old headset
Sony is permanently reducing the price of the PSVR2 this March, so it begs the question: is the PSVR2 worth buying in 2025?

Review Alien: Rogue Incursion (PSVR2) - A Solid First VR Venture into an Iconic Sci-Fi World
Get away from her you glitch
