This week sees the launch of Steams autumn sale in which many of these titles are now discounted. This is one of the first major sales of VR content, with prices reduced on some 23 videogames until 2nd December 2014.

Its the roller coaster game weve all been looking forward too, and its certainly been worth the wait. Today, The Rift Arcade was fortunate enough to play the first Oculus Rift build of NoLimits 2, and boy, is it a hair-raising ride. Theres a good reason for that, because NoLimits is a game built with realism in mind and features realistic rollercoaster physics, 37 different types of coasters, the ability to ride from any seat (or walk around the park while watching rides from the ground) and even a track editor that lets you build the roller coaster of your dreams. Coming November 26th, youll be able to experience it for yourself in virtual reality, with the native Oculus Rift build for the DK2 headset.
