    ZeniMax Asks Court to Halt Sale of Oculus Rift

    ZeniMax is moving forward on its promise to file an injunction against Oculus. The company is not happy with the paltry $500 million it was awarded and wants to go for the jugular. This is what the statement from ZeniMax's lawyers said.

    If nothing else, Xbox owners will get to play the enjoyable Layers of Fear and Borderlands...
