As the Gear VR grows in popularity, more content for the headset has started to arrive. Therefore, it is not surprising that a number of news games and apps have been added to the mix, and some of the best are outlined below.

Escape Velocity

One of the new games for the Gear VR which has been getting a lot of attention is Escape Velocity. This particular game is labeled as following the footsteps of the film "Gravity," which means that gamers have a pretty lonely existence in space to look forward to. This particular game has premise that focuses on repairing the ISS space station in 2038 and so involves a lot of space walking.

Deadhead VR

This particular game is a typical zombie shooter, which means that users get to kill a lot of the undead which are rather unimaginatively named the "Rotten." Gizmag states that a prime attraction in this game is its simplicity and basic gameplay but it delivers a lot of action.

Archer E. Bowman

With this game that involves heavy use of a bow and arrow as the main weapon, gamers get to indulge in their fascination for archery. However, no actual archery skills are needed for this game where gamers will have to fend off a number of foes such as green ogres and other trolls. Instead, the main weapon in this game is a gamepad and with one in tow, gamers will be able to aim at enemies and killed them before they can get to the top of the castle walls.

AltSpace VR

With this social app for the Gear VR, users can hang out with others in a virtual world and watch or stream videos. Where this app is unique is that a variety of other headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are supported and users can mingle with users wearing them and even search the web using a shared browser.
