OK, so I need to put some context on this before I get to the heart of the matter.

About four years ago, for some reason, I bought one . The whole Facebook the online thing didn’t bother me, i just came up with a pseudo account and started playing, although ironically the day it arrived was the day the servers went down.

Ocarina Of Time is still my favorite game of all time, but I have to say that Tetris Effect on PlayStation VR is the greatest experience I’ve ever had as a gamer and that takes a lot of territory in itself.
