Dungeons have a well deserved bad rap. There’s never a good dungeon is there? It’s always full of monsters and demons and some kind of all-encompassing evil that’s plotting to take over the world, or smite the village, or make off with all your gold, your womenfolk or your children. (Sometimes all three.) They’re always dark. They’re always damp. They’re always full of moss, spiders and skeletons. Would it kill people to dispense with the floor littered with bones and install a nice plush carpet for once?
Still, if they did I suspect it wouldn’t be quite as good a location to set videogames.
Such a dungeon awaits you in Gates Of Nowhere, a fantasy virtual reality (VR) videogame for the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift currently in Early Access on Steam. Developers SYMMETRICAL have crafted a title in which you busy yourself fighting hordes of horrendous creatures, looking for keys to gain access to the following area and healing yourself up with any potions you can craft from the loot scattered around the place. Not to mention the odd puzzle or two to solve.
Incidentally, you can read our preview of Gates of Nowhere right here.

Time Carnage takes players through numerous time periods, having you fight against an array of different enemies. It’s a fast-paced action virtual reality (VR) videogame, and players will be able to select from a variety of weapons per time period in order to defend yourself in such a manner that best suits you. Players can dynamically swap out active guns in the middle of the action; but choosing the right load-out for each area is key as you traverse a post-apocalyptic wasteland, lush prehistoric jungle, futuristic city or icy tundra and fight against enemies such as dinosaurs, monsters, robots and zombies.

The idea of the escape room is simple: You’re locked in a single room, there is an obvious way to get out but there seems to be very little you can do to accomplish it. Your only way out is to follow the breadcrumbs. Performing various tasks in order to solve various little mysteries that will take you one step closer to freedom. The door takes a key? Okay, well, where’s the key? Is it in one of these cupboards? No, but there’s some marks scratched into the cupboard – and there’s a keyboard with a bloody fingerprint on W. One answer leads to the next puzzle, and so on and so forth, etc, etc.

Have you ever wanted to fly? Of course there was a time when humans could not and did not fly. Such an idea was preposterous. If humans were meant to fly we’d’ve been born with wings – which is unsurprisingly where we as a species started looking when we decided to use our intellect and ingenuity to join the birds in the sky. The journey humanity subsequently made to take flight, cross oceans and even touch the stars is quite the fascinating tale. With triumphs beyond measure and disasters of the most terrible. Both joy and tragedy coming in equal measure but never stopping that drive to go higher.
