‘Hunted: The Demon’s Forge’ launch trailer prepares you for co-op excellence

If you have been looking for a co-op game where you and your buddy can sit on the same couch and demolish hordes of enemies that foolishly throw themselves at your weapons, then Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is the game for you. Building off the foundation of a fantasy world complete with magic and monsters, the game follows two mercenaries, both playable, and both with their own unique moves and attacks. And while there is a single-player element that many will enjoy, the real emphasis is on the co-op gameplay either online or via splitscreen.

The two characters each offer a different way to play: Caddoc is a brawler that utilizes large melee weapons, while E’lara prefers bows and small weapons for ranged attacks. Both have magic and can augment each other, and both types of fighting styles will be required to progress through the massive areas you will face.

This marks the final trailer before the release of the game. Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is due out for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 31.

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?
