Arizona Sunshine – #1 Best Game

Many people will unfortunately pass on this game because it’s zombies, which is a shame, because this is the best game made so far for virtual reality. Nothing else will get your adrenaline pumping like Arizona Sunshine. Keep in mind that it’s really not a “horror” game and there’s not a lot of gore. It’s just a heart-pumping First Person Shooter that is the most immersive and gripping title yet. Robo Recall is technically better in several ways, but after playing Arizona Sunshine, it’s hard to go back because there’s so less emotional connection to it.

Arizona Sunshine is developed from the ground up for HTC Vive and Oculus Touch.
