Ask anyone that has a PSVR2 and they’ll likely tell you that the tech is great, but the library is lacking. Outside of No Man's Sky or Resident Evil Village, there are very few games that truly revel in the format of VR. However, a recent visit to Vertigo Games’ HQ in Rotterdam proved that VR is in the blood of the developer’s upcoming title Arizona Sunshine 2. After going hands-on with a PC build of the game, we were left dying for the full release of what could be PSVR2's next must-buy. For those out of the know, Arizona Sunshine is a VR zombie shooter that launched back in 2016 on the PSVR. Featuring a sun-bleached post-apocalypse, a Zombieland irreverence, and a penchant for over-the-top gore, it quickly accumulated a cult following. Fans of the first game will be glad to know that seven years and a whole VR generation later, all the hallmarks of Arizona Sunshine are present in its sequel — along with some massive improvements.
Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs Slingshots onto PSVR2 Next Month | Push Square
28.09.2023 - 00:03 / pushsquare.com
Update: A PR rep for Resolution Games has reached out to us regarding the upgrade path for Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs. Those that already own the game on PSVR can upgrade to the PSVR2 version for a fee of $9.99.
Original Story: Resolution Games and Rovio are bringing the virtual reality spin on Angry Birds to PSVR2. Titled Angry Birds VR: Isle of Pigs, the game has been on the original PSVR for several years, but will soon be available for Sony's much more advanced headset.
Launching on 10th October, it appears the game will be a relatively straightforward port, although it'll of course be making use of the PSVR2 Sense controllers for vastly improved accuracy. Playing more or less like the beloved mobile game, you pull back on a slingshot to fire various birds at precarious structures, knocking down as much as you can — including those pesky pigs. We enjoyed it in our review of the PSVR version, noting that, although it doesn't do anything revolutionary, it's still an «enjoyable experience all the same».
Are you still a fan of flinging birds at pigs? Will you check out Isle of Pigs on PSVR2? Smash into the comments section below.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Will 'Link Up' with Advent Children | Push Square
Set two years after the climactic events of the original Final Fantasy VII, for gamers of a certain vintage, the 2006 CG film Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children was really all we had in the way of closure, if you can call it that. Visually stunning, if narratively nonsensical, it contained insane action sequences that are still incredible today. That Final Fantasy VII Remake largely succeeded in being a playable Advent Children is a testament to how good we've got things these days.
