So, pre-orders are up! And it looks like the Switch 2 version will probably come on a game card, like a lot of games do. Nintendo hasn’t officially said anything yet, but if this is real, I’m guessing we’ll hear a proper release date really soon.
If you’re looking for a beautiful game with interesting boss battles and a fantastic soundtrack, Memories in Orbit could be a good fit, even with a few minor flaws. On its own, it’s a well-made game, but some of its design choices aren’t ideal.
Grand Theft Auto VI
Let’s dive into 15 new things you should know about it, starting with the main man himself…
Lots of new anime are out right now, but five series have really made an impression with their first episodes. These premieres immediately showed what’s great and different about each show, making them worth checking out this season. While they were all strong starts, some were particularly outstanding, so we’ve ranked the top five currently airing anime based on how good their first episodes were.
When the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) launched, a major marketing feature was R.O.B., the Robotic Operating Buddy. This robot was designed to blur the line between the NES being a game console and a physical toy. Although only two games were ever made for it, some deluxe NES sets included a game called Stack-Up. R.O.B. wasn’t very reliable, but it was intended to use colored trays and claws to manipulate blocks. The game involved a professor stacking blocks, and players had to memorize the sequence to then program R.O.B. to repeat it. Ultimately, R.O.B. was a disappointing accessory and the game itself wasn’t very enjoyable, which is why it’s often considered one of the worst.

The game now has published system requirements. To run it, you’ll need at least an Intel Core i5-10400 or AMD Ryzen 5 3500 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a graphics card like an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 (with 6GB of VRAM), an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (8GB), or an Intel Arc A770 (16GB with ReBAR enabled). Players who participated in the first closed alpha test will be glad to know the requirements haven’t changed: a Core i5-6600 or Ryzen 5 2600, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX 1050 Ti (4GB), Radeon RX 5500 XT (4GB), or Arc A580 (8GB) will also work.
The concept art features a sprawling city in the distance, which the main character views from a wilderness area. One piece of art suggests the city might be called Bloodstone, marked by a wooden sign. The sewers, however, are fairly generic, mainly consisting of obstacles and debris the character must overcome. The final artwork depicts the hero confronting a massive werewolf.
This is happening because the new Halo: Campaign Evolved won’t have traditional competitive multiplayer. Instead, the game will center around its campaign, offering both a single-player experience and cooperative play for up to four players. It will also fully support cross-platform multiplayer, letting players on different systems play together. Plus, as the first Halo game ever released on PS5, it’s likely to introduce the series to a whole new audience of PlayStation gamers.
