It’s too bad that Brink got off to such a rocky start, since it actually got to be pretty fun once the biggest issues (LAG!) were worked out. If you’ve still got a copy or have been on the fence about getting one, maybe the upcoming DLC release from Splash Damage and Bethesda Softworks will inspire you. Not just because of the new stuff — stuff rocks, don’t get me wrong — but also because you can have it for the low, low cost of absolutely nothing.

The Resistance is still throwing down with Security aboard the Ark, and the upcoming pack — which you’ll be able to download over Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Steam starting August 3 — adds a few new locations for them to duke it out in. Two of them, to be precise: Labs and Founders’ Tower. In addition, the level cap will be boosted to 24 and new outfits and weapon attachments will be added to the game. Not a lot more, but hey, it’s free.

All Fallout games, ranked

Who would've thought the post-apocalypse could be such a fun time? The Fallout franchise has taken the idea of a Mad Max-like future and not only made it into a wildly popular game franchise but also a hit TV series. The core franchise has been around since the late '90s, and yet we've had only a handful of mainline entries in the series since it was revived by Bethesda with Fallout 3. With Starfield in the rearview mirror and the next Elder Scrolls title currently being the dev team's focus, it could be close to another decade before we can set foot in the wasteland ourselves once again. What better time, then, to look back at the franchise and rank all the games from best to worst?

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble is as fun to watch as it is to play

Monkeys race one another in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble.

I couldn’t tell you what the last Super Monkey Ball game I played was, but I can still talk your ear off about the series. That’s thanks to the speedrunning community that has formed around the franchise, making it into the most exciting game to watch when it's played at a high level. After spending close to a decade watching old games turned inside and out, I’m ready to finally dig into a new entry for myself.

Thankfully, I’m getting that chance on June 25 when Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble launches on Nintendo Switch. The latest entry in Sega’s precise platforming series comes loaded with content, from an adventure mode with 200 stages to multiple 16-player multiplayer modes. That’s all exciting, but my attention was on one question when I sat down to demo all of that last week: How fun will it be to watch players master it?
