The Importance of Audio in Games
When people talk about games, one of the first things they'll talk about are the visuals. Let's face it, the game's visuals are the big selling point for a lot of games.

HTC Vive Priced at $800, Still a Better Value than Oculus Rift

That puts the price of the device at a cool $200 more than its nearest competition, the Oculus Rift. And cue the outrage! The difference here is that the SteamVR powered HTC Vive comes with two "Lighthouse" base stations that use lasers to more accurately track movement throughout a room.
