Not willing to rest on its mobile VR supremacy, Samsung is back with a new Gear VR headset. If you've lost count of the iterations by this stage, we don't blame you – the Korean company's latest device is the fifth to show off the Oculus-powered VR platform.
Strong selection of apps and videos; Controller adds new dimension; Easy to use
Still only works with Galaxy phones; More expensive; No real motion tracking
It's just after 6 p.m. on a Monday night, and I'm lost. And soaked. The Nemesis, one of my favorite ships in the game Eve Online but just a sneaky, cloaking foe in Eve Gunjack, has flattened my latest high score attempt.
The Gear VR's relatively low price belies a compelling VR experience, and the games are quickly catching up to the hype; The headset is fairly light, and offers a completely cordless experience
It only works with some recent Samsung phones; The mobile VR experience still pales in comparison to more robust upcoming PC- and console-based options
