    Anyone had experience of these in relation to fitness games, what would you recommend and where could I go and try one out?
    Thanks..

    I've got one of those headset things that I put my phone in. The novelty wears off fairly quickly to be honest.

    I've got an Oculus Quest, it's pretty great. Haven't noticed many specific fitness games but there are games that are super active like Superhot and Beat Saber. Most decent games require you to stand and move so they'd fit the bill.

    Whilst it's perfectly ok as a standalone device, you can also connect it to your PC if it's powerful enough and get even more games from Steam.

    I don't think are many places to try one out, I know they are VR cafes/arcades in London but can't imagine many will be open as yet.

    What is superhot like in VR? Played it on Xbox and that alone was good fun!

    Very much. Had it back in the 80s and jumped in as soon as it was released in 2015.

    One of these arrived today.
    It's breathtakingly incredible.

    My last video game experience was Duke Nukem back in the mid 90's, so this was all a bit mind-blowing.
    Still in shock.
