Description: Bowslinger is a virtual reality archery game that puts a bow and arrow in your hands and challenges your abilities in a variety of single-player game modes. Practice and hone your skills until you can get top scores, or take to the playground and channel your inner William Tell with some good ol’ fashioned apple shooting. Just try not to shoot too low…

Review: Bowslinger is all about the joy of shooting an arrow. Not so much in a fun game sort of way, but a VR experiment done well sort of way. Its simple to play, offers some good archery physics and it is pretty cheap. The only problem is that you will see all this game has to offer in less than an hour meaning I do feel it is a little overpriced. But it is the gameplay that makes this game a joy to play and if you can get past how shallow the game is you should find it worth a download.
