HBO’s streaming service, HBO Go, has finally arrived as an app for Xbox One, according to Xbox Wire. The app has been available on Xbox 360 for some time. “Now, Xbox One users can get in on the action and Kinect with the very best HBO series and films on this innovative, state-of-the-art device,” HBO vice president of Digital Domestic Network Distribution Jeff Dallesandro said. Very punny, Jeff.

HBO Go gives access to the latest episodes of hit shows like True Detective, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and Girls the night that they air. It also includes an extensive back catalog of movies and classic series like The Wire, The Sopranos, and Sex and the City.

Currently HBO Go requires that you (or, more often than not, a friend of a friend of a friend) have a cable subscription to HBO. In 2015, however, the network will begin rolling out a standalone digital service. Game of Thrones broke records for digital piracy, so providing an easier way for cord-cutters to access the network’s critically-acclaimed content promises to bring in substantial new revenue.

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?
