    Darknet is one of the early VR games that should be on anyone's short-list of great titles. [Tested with Rift]

    Darknet is something that could technically work in a traditional, non-VR environment, but the immersive nature of the game does feel justified. Even though it was daunting, I loved looking around the world and figuring out where to go next, and for the price, I'd consider it one of the Oculus' must-have games. [Oculus tested]

    Hacking game that makes incredible use of VR. Puzzles involve looking ALL AROUND YOU and make great use of your VR equipment. Best of all, theHacking game that makes incredible use of VR. Puzzles involve looking ALL AROUND YOU and make great use of your VR equipment. Best of all, the atmosphere of the game really sucks you in. You really do feel like a hacker.
    The game requires you to constantly make risk/reward tradeoffs that sometimes leave you with minutes to spare, and sometimes ruin your entire run, as you hammer away at something more difficult than you anticipated.
    I consider this game to be the Minesweeper of Oculus. It's really addicting and easy to learn / hard to master.
