Read our full Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes review.

Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, the sequel to 2013’s Disney Infinity, will be released on September 24, 2014 for unspecified platforms. The game is confirmed for release on iOS, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, and Xbox One, but the press release doesn’t specify which ones will be arriving on that date. As the title suggests, the sequel features characters from the Marvel and Disney universes, and will be compatible with all figures, Power Discs, and toy boxes from the first Disney Infinity.

In addition to the release date announcement, Disney is launching a pre-order program starting today which will net gamers a free Disney Infinity Marvel figure from “top retailers” nationwide. If you’re going to be at San Diego Comic-Con, pre-orders can be placed at the Disney Infinity Pop-up Shop, or at the Marvel booth, with hands-on demos running at both of these locations.

As we previously reported, the starter pack for Marvel Super Heroes includes Black Widow, Iron Man, and Thor. There’s also a Guardians of the Galaxy Play Set due for release in fall 2014, and Sony will be offering an impressive collector’s edition of the game that features the six core Avengers — including Hulk, a figure that won’t otherwise be available at launch — and an elaborate display stand featuring a Frost Beast.

All Baobab Tree locations in Tales of Kenzera

Zau fights a dragon in Tales of Kenzera: Zau.

While it wasn't marketed as being a particularly punishing game, Tales of Kenzera: Zau is by no means easy. You will have plenty of environmental challenges that can instantly sap your life, and the enemies you face -- especially the bosses -- are no slouches. When you first begin, it will only take a couple of bad hits to send Zau to the land of the dead himself. Alongside the Trinkets you can unlock through hidden challenges around the map, there are also Baobab Trees where Zau can stop to reflect on his journey thus far, have a short dialogue with Kalunga, and get a small addition to his health bar. Like everything in the game, these trees aren't prohibitively hidden, but you could easily pass one by and have no idea where it was when trying to backtrack. These are all the Baobab Tree locations so you can max out your health bar.
All Baobab Tree locations
There are six Baobab Trees to find in Tales of Kenzera: Zau and each adds a small segment of health to your total. When you collect them all, you will roughly double your HP bar. Here are each of their locations in the rough order you should naturally find them in. Most can be picked up on your first time through that area.

This one is very hard to miss as it is directly on your critical path. If you do, you can fast travel to the nearby campfire to grab it.

All Fallout games, ranked

The courier in his nuclear gear and holding his gun in Fallout: New Vegas key art.

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?
