Will definitely be picking this one up.
When my rift arrives, I have a feeling I won't be leaving the house for a while...

Does one definitely need the Touch to play?

Yes. I suspect the overwhelming majority of games will require the Touch or some such in the near future, so at some point you'll have to go for it anyway I am afraid.

Just got my OC, and Echo Arena is amazing. One of my favorite books as a kid was Ender's Game. I just got to play out a fantasy i have had for decades. One of the most amazing gaming experiences I have ever had. And it is free.

I just got this game. I've only been able to play for an hour so far. It's spectacular. It's a sci-fi fans wet dream.

It's like the ISS game but greatly expanded. I love the dialog system and how you have these little gadgets as part of your body.

The voice acting so far is exceptional.

You know when you love a game so much you have this huge smile on your face. That's how I was at the beginning.

Hopefully I'll have more time to play tomorrow.

Great, shame on you... on my way to order the Touch thingy...

Here's a rep for the heads-up. I'll check it out once I get home

So far, I have wrecked one overhead fan, whacked my monitors and buried my hand into a wall.
I need a bigger room.

This game is too intense and immersive.
If Elite ever gets Space Legs, this would be the answer to the VR issue. Screw gravity! Floating is more fun!

I play it sitting down. It works well that way. Just sit away from your desk.

This is more than a game. It's an experience. It's the experience of being in outer space on a space ship. This is the best VR game so far.
