  I can highly recommend both Windlands and Chronos. They are both top notch games and VR experiences.

  BTW, A goofy cheap party game is VRninja. It's just ducking shit thrown at you, but it's pretty fun with a group competing.

      Project Cars is very solid and fun. Dark Net is a great game too. Actually most of the games on that list are decent enough. You could do worse.

        Darknet is really fun. It's very simple and is obviously a mobile VR game at its core, but it's worth playing.

      Correct. Also, the steam version doesn't support VR.

      You can optionally link your Oculus account with your Facebook profile now, just like any number of other services out there (including Steam).

        It's rolling out this week. But as he said, it's optional. I'm not going to get in a huff unless that changes.

        Only for people who are on your Facebook friends list and therefore already know your real name.

        A lot of people on reddit apparently can't read.
