There’s nothing quite like a friendly game of air hockey. My husband and I get very competitive with the game, even in digital versions like air hockey for iPad. Although the multiplayer functionality isn’t available yet on Gear VR, we can at least brush up on our skills.
The newly released game allows you to customize almost every part of the game from your modern, mountain-view apartment, including mallet color, table top theme and the puck. Air Hockey VR comes from developer Trioxin245 Software and costs $3 in the Oculus store.
Three more new experiences hit the Oculus store this week for Gear VR, including Unpacked 360 View, which can be used to watch Samsung’s “Unpacked” event during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this Sunday.
Other new releases include a music experience and an Indiana Jones-style adventure game.
