The first result when I tried to google this game was the video for Kenny Loggins’ Danger Zone so now that’s stuck in my head. This Danger Zone is a sort of spinoff from the creators of Burnout where you can skip all that pesky driving and just aim for as much crashing carnage as conceivable.

VR Star Trek and they got Levar Burton for the trailer!  It's a co-op game that looks kinda like Space Team set on the bridge of The Enterprise.  Of course to get the full experience you need to know 3 other people who live near you and shelled out for VR rigs.
