To run the game at Low settings with 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second, you’ll need at least an Intel Core i5-10600K or AMD Ryzen 5 1600 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960 (4 GB), AMD Radeon RX 6400 (4 GB), or Intel Arc A580 (8 GB) graphics card. For Medium settings at 1440p resolution and 60 frames per second, you’ll need a Core i7-12700 or Ryzen 7 5800X processor, 16 GB of RAM, and either an RTX 2070 SUPER (8 GB), Radeon RX 6650 XT (8 GB), or Arc B580 (12 GB) graphics card.

The game is mostly a success, effectively creating a creepy and tense experience in virtual reality. Despite some technical issues, the strong art style and detailed world really pull players into the action. Horror fans looking for a new VR game will likely enjoy this latest installment, even if it’s not quite perfect.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jon Favreau explained that Grogu has changed. While Din Djarin had to constantly protect him during the first two seasons, Grogu now appears much more independent and capable of looking after himself.

It’s getting harder to buy the latest Pokémon cards! A Tokyo store, Bic Camera, is now requiring customers to pass a Pokémon quiz before they can purchase products from the new Ninja Spinner expansion (known as Chaos Rising in English). This is an attempt to stop resellers and ensure the cards go to genuine fans. The expansion originally launched in Japan in March.

That’s what makes Pokemon Champions so captivating at the moment. The smaller number of available Pokemon creates a dynamic and unpredictable competitive scene, but that won’t stay that way forever. As new Pokemon become available, we’ll likely see strategies from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet become popular again. While powerful Legendary Pokemon can definitely influence the game, the biggest impact will likely come from reliable, common picks that offer consistency, can throw opponents off balance, and work well with other Pokemon. These seven Pokemon, when added to Pokemon Champions, are almost guaranteed to significantly change how the game is played.

This list highlights some recent movies that, despite having all the right ingredients for success, didn’t get the attention they deserved. They had the potential to be much bigger hits, but for whatever reason, they didn’t generate much buzz, and likely flew under the radar for many viewers.

As a movie critic, I’m already gearing up for a jam-packed summer! We’ve got the big superhero showdowns from DC and Marvel coming, plus a serious dose of nostalgia with new takes on Mortal Kombat and Masters of the Universe. But it’s not just reboots and sequels; there are some genuinely exciting original films and shows on the horizon too. Below, I’m sharing a preview of everything I’m most looking forward to, including some exclusive first looks and quotes. Let’s jump right into the movies I’m planning to see on opening day…

Last week, Vampire Crawlers: The Turbo Wildcard from Vampire Survivors was the third best-selling game on Steam. This fast-paced, card-based roguelite is a spin-off of the popular 2022 indie game, Vampire Survivors, created by the same developers. While it doesn’t seem to be reaching the same level of popularity as the original, Vampire Crawlers is already a hit with players, many of whom describe it as incredibly addictive.

A major leak, first spotted by @multiversusie, suggests seven new fighters are planned for Invincible VS. The information came from unused voice lines discovered within the game’s data. Along with popular characters like Angstrom Levy and Oliver Grayson, the leak revealed some lesser-known faces from the Invincible universe will also be joining the fight.

There’s another free item to be aware of: the Razor Crest Mini-Build poly bag (30728). You’ll get it free with any Star Wars purchase of $40 or more. However, this offer doesn’t apply to sets designed for adults. For example, if you spend $850 on the Millennium Falcon (75192), you’ll receive the Darksaber, but not the poly bag. This is a bit of a strange rule with this year’s promotion, so it’s good to know before you complete your purchase.
