HTC and Valve announce better Vive bundle with some impressive VR games

A general view of HTC Vive during Advertising Week 2015 AWXII at the Times Center Stage on September 30, 2015 in New York City. The company has introduced a new Vive content bundle which updates the previous bundle and provide customers purchasing the headset with new content that they can check out for free on the day they pick up their headset.

According to Engadget, this measure has been taken in order to help soften the HTV Vive’s $800 price tag.

HTC has negotiated deals with various game studios in order to offer customers free games with each headset purchase. While that hasn’t changed today, the specific games that come with the Vive just did.

Tilt Brush remains, but Job Simulator and Fantastic Contraptions have been replaced by Zombie Training Simulator and The Gallery – Episode 1: Call of the Starseed (which is a real mouthful of a name).

Experts said that the bundle pack is a good selection especially for users that have never tested a VR headset before.

Tilt Brush, Google’s three-dimensional drawing application was included in the first bundle, and it won’t be going away. Here are the best VR games so far.

Starseed is the most interesting and fun filled game of all where you will get the opportunity to enjoy an old school adventure packed with modern technology.

Zombie Training Simulator- Published by Acceleroto, this game is normally sold at $19.99. It has the looks of an old-fashioned adventure game for PC or console but it is powered by VR technology. The players are able to move around here and there by pointing where you want to be and teleporting there.

Tiltbrush is an art program, and the best analogy I can make is to think of the light trails a sparkler makes as you wave it around on the Fourth of July. The zombies are cardboard-looking and flat, so the game seems like a shooting gallery.
