VR headsets aren't all created equally. We at GameSpot have tested out the newly released Half-Life: Alyx on the four biggest VR headsets: Valve Index, HTC Vive Pro, Oculus Rift, and Oculus Quest.From a top view, it's no surprise that the Index is the ideal platform to play Alyx on, considering they're both made by Valve. But it's also the most expensive and currently in short supply. The Vive is the next best opinion; it's designed for steam VR, which makes setup with Alyx easy, and you can swap out

As a video game company, Valve means so much for the industry at large, particularly the PC gaming world. As the owners and operators of Steam, Valve is directly responsible for pulling PC gaming back from the brink of irrelevance in the mid-2000s and helping to foster the golden age of indie games. It can be easy to forget that they also occasionally make games. The world got a big reminder this week with the release of Half-Life: Alyx, the most-impressive VR game to date. Hot on the heels of

Crowbars and Half-Life go hand in hand, so why wasn't there one in Half-Life: Alyx? Valve's Robin Walker says they tried, but a multitude of reasons kept it out of the final game. When it comes to mainline Half-Life games, the implied relationship between Gordon Freeman and his trusty crowbar has always been just as important as anything else going on. So how did such a versatile weapon get left out of Half-Life Alyx? Apparently, Valve actually tried to include the iconic tool in the game, but according to designer

In lieu of SXSW 2020's cancelation, the list of Gaming Awards winners was announced online, in which Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice won Game of the Year. It certainly put a damper on things this year when it was announced that SXSW 2020 would be canceled due to risk of the COVID-19 pandemic and a decision from the powers that be in the city of Austin, but that doesn’t mean the best can’t be made of a bad situation. A major showcase of the event is the SXSW Gaming Awards, and

Two days after release, Valve has updated its VR hit Half-Life: Alyx with enhanced movement options. You can now use an analog stick to turn your perspective smoothly, as in most first-person games, a feature the game calls a Continuous Turn. As before the patch, you have the option of using the analog stick to turn in the direction you were already facing by a fixed number of degrees, which the game now calls a Snap Turn. Previously, it was known as a Quick Turn.In this new setup, you can
