8 Exciting 2016 PlayStation VR Games

Every new generation of video game consoles brings with it miniature revolutions in the way we do things. For the original Xbox, it was online gaming. For the Wii, it was motion gaming. Sony’s PS4 video game is this generation’s best-selling console by a pretty wide margin, but its lasting legacy won’t be the PlayStation Now streaming service that allows users to play hundreds of games for a single subscription fee. No, it’ll be PlayStation VR and PlayStation VR games.

PlayStation VR allows gamers to leave their home behind and be immersed in their titles. A headset blocks out everything else except gameplay. Motion controllers and the PlayStation Camera enable the PS4 to track head movements and make things that much more realistic. Where your hands move, the camera moves.

With all of the games, developer Rocksteady has aimed to deliver the ultimate Batman experience, complete with gadgets. Batman Arkham VR does the same, but it’s also part graphic novel.
