Showcasing the Galar Region Several years ago, The Pokémon Company introduced a series of shorts on its YouTube channel calledPokémon Origins. Now, I was never a fan of the anime, but for some reason, I became absolutely glued to the adventures of Red in that capsule series. Maybe it was the quality of the animation or maybe it was because, by this point, I was actually a fan of the video games, but I thoroughly enjoyed what Production I....

They never make VR games about kitten adoption agencies It’s tough to imagine a pop culture adaption for VR that’s better suited thanThe Blair Witch Project. A movie seen entirely through a shaky first-person perspective fits perfectly into VR’s wheelhouse of immersive shaky first-person perspectives.

Bloober Team’sBlair Witchis being brought to thenew Oculus Questlater this month....
