Dead & Buried makes 2-on-2 Wild West VR shootouts a hoot

Dead & Buried is one of the best games coming for the Oculus Touch and Oculus Rift.

I played the 2-vs.-2 Wild West shootout game earlier this year, and I had a chance to play a new level at the Oculus Connect event in San Jose, California, this week. It reinforces my view that shooting games — without a lot of movement that would make you get motion sickness — are great in virtual reality. The Touch controllers — which enable you to independently use each hand to shoot in different directions — are great for first-person shooters.
