Hi guys, any chance we can get a sticky topic with a list of the best Rift experiences currently available (both demos and playable games)?

For me so far War Thunder is where it's at, but it is VERY challenging. The fact that you are looking mostly at things that are far away helps I think.

The native support for Rift in War Thunder is pretty good now, though it does have some major flaws. I found that going into "PostFX" settings in game and turning the sharpness sliders to Max made the world much clearer but this might vary from person to person.

Vireio 3D doesn't seem to get along all that well with my brain, I've always found that most 3D stuff (movies and whatnot) give me double vision and bother my eyes, so I think I'm in the minority here but still so far I haven't found any games/demo's without native support to be very enjoyable. TF2 is nice and Museum of the Microstar is impressive. I'm looking forward to eventually getting into DiRT 3 with the Rift 😃

Retrovirus is awesome, but it`s pure luck whether you get a good framerate or not, it`s unplayable to me, hope they're working on a fix :cry:
