We got a nice look at some new Half-Life: Alyx gameplay videos today, showing combat, puzzles, gravity gloves, upgradable guns, and more from the upcoming VR-only Half-Life 2 prequel.

The Halo: Combat Evolved portion of the five-game Halo: The Master Chief Collection—which comes in the form of 2011’s ‘Anniversary’ remake—recently concluded a couple weeks of beta testing, and going by the February wrap-up at the Halo Waypoint website, it was a very productive event.
