Letty’s Sting Ray from The Fate of the Furious showed up as a premium microtransaction in CSR Racing 2 earlier this week. It cost $4.99 to unlock. Or $14.99. Or $34.99. According to Zynga, prices for the premium vehicle were set to random as part of a feature test. Really.

by Heather Alexandra
DsiderThe only proper reaction.
Breath of the Wild added some awesome outfits with some new downloadable content but none are as terrifying as Tingle’s costume. The mere sight sends NPCs into a panic, allowing Link to terrorize towns up and down the Hyrule countryside. You can watch the mischief in the video above.

E3 was full of massive AAA titles like God of War, Assassin’s Creed, and Call of Duty. But the one game that’s stuck in my mind the most is Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. It’s half brawler, half farming sim—it’s a weird combination, but I can’t stop thinking about it.
