Is it big enough? Sit down, it's time to have a long, long ass talk about how it all went down for virtual reality in 2016. From the headset improvements to the now dreaded motion controls, we take a ride through the saga it has turned out to be.
The top games lists make their way back into the year end debrief tradition, along with a few new twists to the formula.
Last but not least the once-a-year channel update tops off this monstruously long year end debrief, which by the way is admittedly kind of late this year round.
