Oculus Rift review roundup: great for gaming but lacking content

Virtual reality’s golden boy, the Oculus Rift, is finally available to the consumer market after years of talk, and boy, the reviews are streaming in thick and fast.

The headset itself has been available for eons now, but only in pre-build beta guises for developers and industry henchmen to experience. But this Monday 28 March, the Oculus Rift was made available to the public, with those who pre-ordered taking the first devices home (or having Oculus co-founder Palmer Luckey deliver it personally to your door).

So, what is the general consensus among the media fraternity? Is the Oculus Rift the real virtual deal?
