Had tested Oculus rift last fall. IT WAS HILARIOUS. Me and my friends played rollercoaster game, where you are standing in a wagon and the rail ends, you jump over the gaps, etc, its kinda extreme. I hold my own and remained calm during the short demo of the game. But when my friend put it on he was litterally falling on the ground on every turn, people had to hold him in order for him not to fall and break the equipment, I've filmed this... Hilarious stuff.

But the games that will adapted to this technology are endless.
They've already got Team Fortress 2 fully compatible I'm pretty sure.

Sign me up right now. That video was amazing. Can you imagine playing a career mode in NBA2K or Madden while wearing this thing? Shooters would be really good as well. Hell, even this in Minecraft would add another level of feeling you're in the game.
So the real question is how much? FYI, it is rumored that Sony is working on a VR headset designed for the PS4:

If Sony is doing it you gotta think Microsoft is as well.

Apparently they still have a few other tricks up their sleeve before they release.

Another idea, if they teamed up with a company like Turtle Beach just imagine how much of a winning combination that would be; my headset has Dolby 7.1. I can crank that and no one in the house hears a peep. It's a beautiful thing.

Been sick all week with what I think is the flu... Its been awful but being on my back away from work has given me an opportunity to play some games. So I bought The Walking Dead Season 1 off PSN for the PS Vita at a price of $5. When you factor in the DLC that's less than a dollar per episode, not bad.
I finished up today and I have to say it was a fun ride.
The game is heavy on story and the gamer making quick decisions which impact future outcomes. Not a whole lot of heavy action sequences but there was enough for this type of game. I liken it to old school point and click PC adventure games meets the zombie genre with modern controls and polish. The voice acting was all stellar for a video game. I really liked the lead character, which makes sense because the game makes you mold who he is and how others perceive him by the choices he makes; many driven around morality vs desperation & survival.
When I finished it off I wasn't sold on continuing on for season two. The games in my opinion is more harsh than the books, and it really sets a more intense negative tone throughout. Talk about a drain at times. I'll see what I think later, I know episode 1 of season 2 is already out on steam.

A colleague of mine was in on Oculus Rift through the Kickstarter campaign and he got one of the prototypes. It is wild. There isn't a tonne of content (obviously) but the potential is amazing.
The thing that they have figured out is the motion sickness problem, which has always been the big stumbling block. I don't like 3D tv cause it makes me ill but I have no issue with the OR glasses.
