Hey, did I ever mention that I got to play on the PSVR 2 recently? Because I did and I actually had a wonderful time playing demos of four upcoming PSVR2 games on Sony’s new VR headset. Inspired by that preview session, on this week’s episode of VR Corner (above), I decided to dig into the ever-growing list of confirmed PSVR 2 titles and whittle it down to the 13 games I’m most excited to play. Fair warning, as this is my opinion only and it’s my favourite VR genre, there are a lot of shooters in there so shout…
