Oculus Rift games with head tracking?

I can't use the Oculus Rift (just as a display, it makes me motion sick "I keep thinking I can turn my head when I can't and it makes me really dizzy and my stomach starts acting up) I'm already to use to the headtracking. Are there any games that have head tracking?

Here's what I'm aware of so far
- MineCrift (Minecraft VR mod)
- Cinema 3D
- Team Fortress 2
- Alone in the Rift
- Half life 2 (VorpX driver)
- War Thunder
- Private eye
- iRacing


There are about 5 other games I've heard of that has head tracking but I can't remember what they are.

    In the Oculus Share section, VR Jam, Oculus-ready Games & Demos, WIPs, Oculus Showcase forum sections have broad range of games available.

    I just stick to racing games for now.

    I'm aware of there being tons of demos available (but not every single game has head tracking though)

    I beleive every single one has headtracking. Not unless it's a "check it out I've managed to get it to work using vorpx+tridef+vireo+opentrack+shitloadsofcrap, no headtracking yet".

    I currently have a laptop with a bad graphics card. Will the Oculus Rift games require a really good graphics card?

    The Rift performance is about the same as FullHD resolution performance, given same settings. So if you can run your game in 60fps (which you should always aim) on low, you can run it in the Rift on low. But then again, it's not like you want immersive virtual reality with poor visuals anyway.

    So it's a yes and no. But mostly yes.
