High-definition audio output not doing it for you? Can’t afford the luxury of a gigantic screen? In that case, the Gyroxus chair may be another option for becoming completely immersed in your favorite games.

Owing to the lack of an overarching storyline, Mount & Blade is a game that’s difficult to get into at first. If you can get past the growing pains, however, it offers a compelling, dynamic world that you are free to explore at your leisure and a combat model that is both frenetic and addicting.
