Forza Horizon 3 is a massively popular racing title for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs that by itself won the Best Racing/Sports category at the 2016 Game Awards. It’s tons of fun right out of the box, but it’s the constant stream of downloadable content (DLC) that takes the game to another level.

Some of the most popular DLC for Forza Horizon 3, and for racing games in general, are the new cars that can be added and then raced with, which not only extends the game’s lifespan but adds in some nostalgia when those cars are historic models. This time around, the latest new car pack for Forza Horizon 3 comes by way of the Logitech G Car Pack, which the Xbox Wire details in their latest release.

The Logitech G Car Pack features seven new vehicles with a focus on driving this holiday season. The new Car Pack comes just a week from the release of the Blizzard Mountain expansion for Forza Horizon 3, which will bring a real winter driving experience to the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.

The cars included in the Logitech G Car Pack offer a range of vehicles, from the experimental to the classic. The Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 Concept is a car that exists only as a prototype unveiled at the Geneva Auto Show in 2015, and offers a lighter, sportier version of the Bentley Continental GT. The 2017 Jaguar F-PACE is a brand new SUV in the mid- to compact crossover range and should make for a fun winter driving experience.

The 1965 Pontiac GTO is one of the pack’s most iconic vehicles, representing a quintessential American muscle car. Less iconic but much-loved and respected is the 2014 Morgan 3 Wheeler, with a design that goes back all the way to 1911 but that’s been modernized with today’s amenities and powerplant technology.

Rounding out the Logitech G Car Pack is the popular 1992 Toyota Supra 2.0 GT Twin Turbo, the 2017 Mercedes-AMG GT R with its twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8, and the 1996 HSV GTSR limited-edition street-legal racer.

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

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?
