While you could play solo, it unsurprisingly put an emphasis on team-up action. It received middling reviews, including our own Marvel Powers United review , and Meta eventually shut it down back in 2021.

Recently I was invited by Meta to try out one of the most anticipated VR titles of 2024, Batman: Arkham Shadow from Camouflaj. During my demo session, I played an entire level of the game traversing the sewers of Gotham in search of a group of Police officers that have been taken hostage by the Rat King and his minions. This provided me with about 45 minutes of hands-on time in the upcoming title, so here are my thoughts.

Artificial intelligence has revolutionized everything from customer service to content creation, giving us tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini, which can generate human-like text or images with remarkable accuracy.

Action Hero is a highly promising VR FPS that mixes Superhot with over-the-top action cinema, and we went hands-on.

Just a few years back, if you had been told that by 2024, you would be able to have a conversation with a computer that would seem almost completely human , would you have believed it? So what do you think AI will be capable of in ten, twenty or even fifty years’ time?
