VR Sweeps Reality is hard. Really hard. We sure wouldn't blame you if you felt like kicking back and getting lost in a solid video game every once in a while as an escape. And with triple A games like "Batman: Arkham," "Final Fantasy XV," "NBA 2K" and "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" available in virtual reality, the potential worlds to escape to are better than ever.

Reality is hard. Really hard. We sure wouldn't blame you if you felt like kicking back and getting lost in a solid video game every once in a while as an escape. And with triple A games like "Batman: Arkham," "Final Fantasy XV," "NBA 2K" and "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" available in virtual reality, the potential worlds to escape to are better than ever.

A cutting edge gaming setup can get expensive though, which is why we're here to help you out. We're giving away a PlayStation 4 console with a PlayStation VR headset — the same headset WIRED declared "poised to win the headset wars."

That way you can unplug and get your game on without having to go all "Grand Theft Auto" in real life.
