PUBG's Erangel Map, the first map in the game that's still seen as PUBG's base map, is not small - it can't be, if it's going to house hundreds upon hundreds of games over and over again - and even though it can feel like second nature at times, the ubiquitous design of the buildings, trees, and rolling battleground countryside are easy enough to get lost in. There's also the matter of finding the best landing location for your game, and so here we'll cover those as well as anything else worth knowing about Erangel, including and Erangel vehicles, weapons or gear exclusive to the map, and Erangel strategies for coming out on top.

After years (and years) of silence that led many to assume the Monkey Island brand had fallen by the wayside, original creator Ron Gilbert announced a return to its tropical isles earlier this month in the aptly named Return to Monkey Island. Now, Gilbert has also revealed his new game in the series will start off where Monkey Island: LeChuck's Revenge finished – at an amusement park. "One of the things that was very important to me about this was that I did want the game to start right at the end of Monkey Island 2, when you walk into that amusement park. [Read More]

Essential for just about any playthrough, it's well worth keeping track of the best Light Armor, Heavy Armor, and Shields in Skyrim. Generally, your armor of choice will be dependent on your playstyle. Classes which require a decent ability to sneak past enemies, and swiftly escape oncoming attackers will benefit from Light Armor. Those who expect to be getting up close and personal, taking plenty of hits but caring less for the stealthy approach will prefer Heavy Armor. [Read More]

The storm chaser of Red Dead Redemption 2

Despite their enormous size and terrifying presence, it's fair to say most players don't spend a great deal of time thinking about Red Dead Redemption 2's storms. I'd always assumed the storms were simply random weather events that spawned and vanished as soon they passed overhead. Something to create ambience while you travel the world (or a surprisingly calming ASMR soundtrack to listen to while writing). Peel back the cloud cover, however, and you'll discover there's a good deal more to them. [Read More]

The new Uncharted film has seen solid box office sales, despite it not being a hit with critics. In the live-action adaptation of Naughty Dog's globetrotting adventure series, Tom Holland steps into the shoes of charming hero Nathan Drake. However, despite many lauding Holland's portrayal of the lovable rogue, the film itself appears to have fallen flat. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently sits at 51 percent, with the critics' consensus being that Uncharted is " [Read More]

It took mere moments for Xbox Series X to enter the pantheon of memes following its December 2019 reveal, when its less-than-delicate heft was widely and enthusiastically compared to a refrigerator. Two years on, the meme still lingers and Microsoft has announced you'll be able to pre-order your very own official Xbox Series X mini fridge starting next Tuesday. Microsoft initially embraced the Xbox fridge meme (with considerably gusto) last October, when it sent real-life Xbox Series X fridges - described as 6-foot, 400 pound replicas of the console - out to influencers and rapper Snoop Dogg.
