There's over
30 50 games launching on and around the Touch release. With so many games, I thought I would give a quick rundown of them and which I think are worth getting! See reviews and trailers here (http://uploadvr.com/oculus-touch-launch-window-games/).
Must Buys
VR Sports Challenge - free! Should be like Wii Sports.
The Unspoken - free! One-on-one spellcasting duels.
Robo Recall - free! Epic games took their BulletTrain demo and made an arcade-y, fun FPS out of it. Looks awesome, and even better it is free, so nothing to lose!
Nvidia's VR Funhouse - free, I believe! A trip to the carnival. Nvidia's VR tech demo.
Dead and Buried - free! 2v2 Wild West shootout. Should be fun multiplayer!
Oculus Medium - Free! I'm not much of an artist, but it could become an important tool. Should be fun to mess around in!
Oculus Quill - Free! Again, I'm not much of an artist, but it should be cool to create in VR.
Superhot - BulletTime Matrix GunFu. Yes please!
Lone Echo - Apparently the zero g movement mechanic works very well. It has an impressive single campaign and a kick-ass Tron meets Enders Game 5v5 multiplayer. Sounds amazing!
Wilson's Heart - One of the only single player games on my "must buy" list, it seems super immersive and creepy...but not in a jump scare kind of way. Looking forward to a story-driven VR narrative!
Ripcoil - Pong meets Tron. It apparently has a unique movement system that works really well. Seems like a fun multiplayer game!
Sports Bar VR - multiplayer, uses Oculus Avatars. Pool, darts, and more!
Arizona Sunshine - Zombie game, BUT it has campaign co-op. Who's gonna play with me??
Probably Buys
Rock Band VR - Seems like it could be lots of fun, but the gameplay will be different than typical Rock Band. I'll wait for more reviews.
Arktika.1 - Seems like a AAA FPS. Positive reviews. Single player, though, so might pick this up on a sale down the line.
Killing Floor: Incursion - Depends on the co-op mode. Another zombie shooter. Instead of standing still and fighting waves, though, you can explore and solve puzzles as well. In terms of co-op shooters, I'm not sure if this or Arizona Sunshine should be a priority.
Star Trek: Bridge Crew - Multiplayer teamwork in the Star Trek universe. Sounds cool. I'm not sure what the replayability is, though.
Looks Good
I Expect You To Die - Fun puzzle game. I haven't tried it with motion controllers. I'm sure that will add to the game.
Luna - Puzzle game. Not much is known, but it's from the creators of Journey, so that gives it a bit of hype.
Fantastic Contraption - Puzzle Construction game. Seems like a decent time killer.
The Climb - Touch controllers adds a lot to it. Still prefer Lone Echo if I had to choose between the two, though.
Job Simulator - Basically mess around with stuff. Seems fun at a first pass, but I'm not sure about replayability.
Space Pirate Trainer - Apparently popular on the Vive, looks like fun gunplay. A bit too arcade-like for me personally. Maybe something to pick up cheap.
Cosmic Trip - First person RTS. Looks good, but I'm not sure it would keep me coming back.
Technolust - While it looks interesting, I haven't picked it up yet. The inclusion of Touch controls may convince me to pick it up when it's on sale again - not sure.
Meh
Serious Sam VR - wave shooter
Pro Fishing Challenge VR - fishing. Yawn...
Kingspray - spray graffiti. K...
ZR: Zombie Riot - Zombie wave shooter. Better choices than this one.
Final Approach - Uh, you're an air traffic controller. Supposedly fun, but doesn't seem interesting.
Pulsar Arena - I don't know much about this, but the trailer looks like shit.
Dead Hungry - seems one note
MoonStrikeVR - Not much to go on, but it's an RTS. Not really my cup of tea.
Project Hikari - manga reader...
Surgeon Simulator - Looks to be VR gimmick.
Viral Ex - Really basic GearVR shooter port.
-
Dead and Buried was just announced to be free when Touch releases!
-
Looks pretty spot on.
-
Medium and Quill are now also free. Eight free titles in all if you preordered!

Store is now live with Touch titles! There's a 5 game bundle with...
The Climb
SUPERHOT
Space Pirate Trainer
I Expect You To Die
King Grafitti
You also get Ripcoil for free with any store purchase! I've already bought the bundle plus Arizona Sunshine. On top of that, there's a LOT of freebies. A lot of them become free AFTER you connect your Touch controllers, so don't buy things like Medium or Quill or Dead and Buried as you will get those for free!
