Phantom - Covert Ops For Galaxy Quest VR. Lose Yourself In A Video Game

The release of Phantom - Covert Ops brings a new level of fun to the Galaxy Quest. You are immersed in a world that resembles the river in Apocalypse Now, and you paddle your canoe through some really scary situations. I haven't spent $30 on a video game in a long time.

I even created a virtual law library in which my avatar could walk up to a bookshelf and take down a virtual book. The technology wasn't ready, though, and the jury is out whether it is now. But, what happens when robots take over our Avatars?
