“Dracula: Vampires vs Zombies” review: kill monsters as a B-movie hero!

“Dracula: Vampires vs Zombies” review: kill monsters as a B-movie hero!

Some time ago I’ve been contacted by developers of Avatarico that wanted me to review their game “Dracula: Vampires vs. Zombies”. I’ve been intrigued by the description that their creative director gave me of the game: ‘Dracula’ is a parody game.

Today I’ve been able to try VRobot, a game by indie studio Luden.io that is currently in Early Access on Steam.

Miyubi review: a long VR movie with nice gaming features

Some times ago I read on Road To VR the review of a VR movie called Miyubi: the opinion of the journalist was that the movie was nice, but not worth the time spent seeing it. Since I love listening to other people’s advice, I watched it 😀 Honestly, I think that he was right, […]
