Yeah, price is in line with other VR products, but not something that I am going to be grabbing right away. Although an HTC/Steam made headset is very promising and I am going to be watching it closely. That would travel pretty easily with us and having the ability to play games without a television around is a big deal for us.

I wonder how well it will work for 2D games, as nothing more than a "personal monitor." If it worked well for that, I might really like it for that 90% of the time.

That's my understanding. It acts like a personal monitor unless it is specifically a VR game. Although that may have changed since the last time I looked.

Not sure how mobile it is... seems like it would need a lot of stuff.

This actually looks great for my clients with developmental disabilities. I'm going to monitor it closely.

That is a really good idea.

Just started Path of Exile "Free on Steam" and I'm having so much fun. Currently playing a "Witch" class and going for AOE build that I googled. It's worth checking out since it's free.

I've played it. They really did Diablo 2 justice.

More like Diablo 2.

Did a bit of family game time today. Played Telltale Games Jurassic Park tonight as a family. That game is tough, but the story is really well told.

I just started the Valkyria Chronicles. I normally shy away from turn based strategy games because I find them unexciting -- sort of like tower defense games... But this one has an interesting style... Kind of a blend between X-COM and a Third Person shooter. Looks like it will be fun to play.

And the art style is well done as well.

Bought a few cheap JRPGs on this weeks' Steam Sale. I get almost one game on any given week.

My four year old is playing Sega All Stars Racing.

Yeah, it is. It's a different graphics engine -- I'll have to look it up again. But it does an excellent job with the animations.
