Below is a list of new VR games and experiences available on the Oculus Rift:

Apex – $2.99

Apex is an award-winning VR experience directed by Arjan van Meerteen that delivers a “surrealistic and darkly beautiful apocalyptic vision set to an original score in the anticipated follow up to Van Meerten’s Surge.”

“I played in bands from when I was 16,” said Meerteen. “Really loud death metal. But I had always been interested in electronic music as well and started to make it. I will have some music and it will inspire me to make something visual. It’s all very integrated because the music inspires the visuals but the visuals also inspire the music. It’s a constant interaction between the two.

“The best way I can describe Apex is like when I was fifteen and went to a death metal concert, and what I felt being in the crowd as the band played, the aggression and the energy. It’s overwhelming and kind of scary but it makes you feel something. And that’s what I wanted to do with Apex. There is destruction but there is also beauty in what you are seeing. It’s really more of an atmosphere than a traditional story.”
