We grab some time with the creators of BeeBeeQ a VR Barbecue game that allows 5 players to swat it out, trying to stop a man getting his meat grilled. The game gives up to 4 players the role of Bees taking flight from the hive, and a single VR player who is being attacked while harmlessly trying to cook his meat on the grill. Immersed in the VR you are given multiple Bee killing devices including the classic fly swat and a brick. The bees are given the mighty sting as a weapon and the ability to respawn back in the hive after death. Could this be the mix of couch play and VR the industry requires? Only time will tell, release date expected this summer.

Tempting... but I have to say I am more of an arcade deluxe cab fan. I loved the ones for Galaxy Force, Thunder Blade and After Burner.
