3. Damaged Core
Damaged Core is a first-person shooter with a twist. You play as some sort of rogue AI construct trying to liberate humanity from their robot oppressors and uncover the truth behind your own existence. Since you’re essentially software, you can hack into different systems and take control of stationary guns and other weapons to blast away robot enemies. This game looks absolutely beautiful, genuinely immersive, and tons of fun.

2. Edge of Nowhere
Lara Croft and Nathan Drake better move over because there’s a new adventure hero headed to town. Edge of Nowhere is a third-person adventure game on an epic scale. Based on what’s been revealed so far players start the game in search of a lost arctic expedition, but things quickly get crazy as you find yourself running for life from grotesque spider-like monsters and dodging every conceivable hazard in your way. The chase sequences in this game are absolutely heart-pounding. As you’re running for your life you might look up and see a massive boulder about to fall on your head, or look down and see that the rickety wooden bridge you’re trying to cross is collapsing beneath your feet. It certainly wouldn’t be surprising to see this game get released with warning stickers discouraging people with heart conditions from playing.

1. EVE Valkyrie
Also in development for Sony’s Morpheus virtual reality headset, EVE Valkyrie is a space dogfighting game set in the same futuristic world as EVE Online. This is really the game that could wind up being the killer app for the Oculus Rift, and it’s really not surprising when you think about how perfectly suited a VR headset is for a space flight simulator. It’s like you’re actually right there in the cockpit. When a enemy target flies across your line of sight, you’re no longer bound by a 2D field of vision that leaves you scrambling to find a little red dot on the radar so you know which direction to follow. All you have to do on the Oculus Rift is turn your head slightly to see which way the enemy fighter went, then react accordingly. And instead of the typical shield and hull meters you might see in other space flight sims, EVE Valkyrie looks like it has a very minimal HUD (heads up display) and instead has cracks form in the cockpit to let the player know their ship can’t take much more damage.
