In what has to be one of the stranger gaming stories I've heard in awhile, virtual reality company Oculus Rift is coming to Chuck-e Cheese. You heard that right, to Chuck-e Cheese. President of CEC entertainment, the parent company over Chuck-e Cheese, Roger Cardinale, released a statement saying that due to the availability of electronic consoles for kids today, virtual reality offers them a chance to give them a different experience, one they can't have at home yet. The company was recently acquired by Facebook and should be available to the public late 2014 to early 2015. While I, in the last few years, have personally heard bad stories about the dining establishment, Cardinale does offer a fair point. VR does offer quite the unique experience. The game itself will allow players to collect tickets that will be displayed 360 degrees around them. These tickets will also be redeemable for prizes. I'm already anticipating the youtube videos of people rapidly swiping at the air, grabbing as many virtual tickets to get a disco ball key chain off the wall. The Oculus Rift will be available in select locations in Dallas, TX, San Diego, CA, and Orlando, Florida.
