That was supposed to be a US-only promo as far as I know, but Oculus didn't handle it very well so some people got the free bundle and others (like me) didn't unfortunately.


Just Gear VR I believe.


Those prices are just Gear VR, however there's also a sale on for the Rift. Dreadhalls is £4.99 for that though. It's a bit annoying that there's no cross-buy feature - I'll probably look to get the CV1 at some point and don't want to have to re-buy the games...

​When you plug the phone into the vr headset it auto prompts to install the app, not sure if you can open the oculus without the hardware, never tried

I can't play minecraft any other way. Gear VR is amazing and will definately be buying Gunjack!

Some require a bluetooth controller, but others use gaze based controls (such as Land's End) or you can use the Gear VR touchpad. It should say on the store page which games require a controller (e.g. End Space, Herobound, Dreadhalls). It's worth picking up a cheap bluetooth controller though as I find it improves some of the games that don't require it.

I've got the Ipega 9021 bluetooth controller which works fine and only cost £12.99 from Funstock. It's showing out of stock now, but you can probably pick it up cheaply on ebay or elsewhere.

Of the games on sale I've played 6:

Land's End - a short but impressive experience, definitely worth a go for £1.49. Not much in the way of puzzles, but it's really immersive and I like the graphics.

Bandit Six Salvo - fun turret shooter, you can choose which turrets to use, add power-ups and switch between them in game, it's a decent game to play in short bursts.

Anshar Wars 2 - I only bought this the other day in the sale so can't give a full review but what I've played seems good. Also has multiplayer which I haven't tried yet and is the first Gear VR game to be cross-buy - if you buy the Gear VR version you also get the Rift version (according to the store page - I can't confirm as I don't have a rift)

Into The Dead - It's an endless runner with zombies, which doesn't sound that interesting but is actually a lot of fun. There's challenges to complete and new weapons and dogs to unlock so it's one that I keep going back to. Depends whether you like endless runners though.

Dead Secret - good adventure game with horror elements, I haven't completed this yet but enjoyed what I've played.

End Space - my favourite Gear VR game to date, this is a great space sim - my only complaint is I wish there were more levels although I believe the dev is working on adding content.
