And he likes it. And we hear from features editor Christian Donlan about the adorably stylish action RPG Cult of the Lamb, which he review...

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we discuss the ongoing fallout from Microsoft and Sony's squabbling over Activision Blizzard and it's blockbuster franchise Call of Duty. If you've been living under a rock for the last six months, this all stems from Microsoft's intent to buy Activision for 68.7bn, which Sony isn't too happy about. Recently we've heard arguments from Sony offering some of its...

Everything starts somewhere, and when the games industry began to form in the UK, back in the '80s, Gary Penn - my guest on the One-to-one podcast today - was there. A young adult passionate about games, he was propelled to micro-stardom, as he puts it, when he won a competition to find Britain's best gamer and ended up writing for Zzap!64 magazine. It was a magazine that changed the face of games...

Another Friday, another Weekly - the show where we recap the week on Eurogamer for you. Remember, premium supporters listen from Friday whereas everyone else listens from Monday.   Today, we've got former Eurogamer writer Emma Kent back! And it turns out that since moving on from Eurogamer, she's rediscovered a passion for football. And she's thrown herself so fully into it that she'll soon be in...

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, it's all about Pokémon, following the franchise's huge announcement livestream that divulged fresh details on upcoming games Scarlet and Violet.  The star of that show? Well, obviously it was Fidough - a freshly-baked dog  Pokémon made of bread, whose popularity has now set the internet ablaze. But, dear viewer, we have questions. If Fidough is bread... can you...

Find out more here: https://www.eurogamer.net/subscribe   Today on Weekly, Martin Robinson dives into Xenoblade Chronicles 3, a game he's just rated Essential and...

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast, we're discussing GTA maker Rockstar Games. An eye-catching report has discussed positive changes for employees and suggested a new company outlook could also be reflected in Grand Theft Auto 6, whenever it finally arrives. How important are these changes, and could the industry as a whole benefit? Or should we be calling some of these things out as long overdue...

Support Eurogamer here: https://www.eurogamer.net/subscribe   It's a genuine pleasure to introduce one of the most well known faces of the UK games industry to you today, and more than that, someone who's helped bring among the biggest and most beloved game series to our shelves. I'm talking about the likes of The Witcher and Dark Souls - and they don't come much bigger than that.   I distinctly r...

Well look who we've got on Weekly today: it's Ian Higton all the way over from YouTube land, where everyone communicates in video. He's here to talk about virtual reality as often as he can, as well as tell us about changes on the Eurogamer video team. Aoife, if you didn't know, is off on maternity leave. Good luck, Aoife!   Also joining me today is guides editor Lottie Lynn who reviewed the game...

Square Enix has sullied its brand with Final Fantasy 7 NFTs, while Minecraft has taken a stand and said the technology has been banned on its servers.  After so many companies have tried and failed to convince us that NFTs are a thing, why others persisting? Tom Phillips, Ed Nightingale, Victoria Kennedy and Liv Ngan discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the Eurogamer Newscast it's all about Nintendo Switch, which is quietly having yet another brilliant year. The last few days have seen confirmation of a new Kirby game and a Bayonetta 3 release date (finally!), adding to a solid year so far and a strong end to 2022 which will also see the likes of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3, Mario Rabbids: Sparks of Hope and Pokémon Scarlet an...

Everyone else listens from Monday.   Today on Weekly, I'm joined by reviews editor Chris Tapsell and managing editor Matt Reynolds - no relation to Ryan Reynolds - and our major talking point is our brand new State of the Game ser...

Today on the Weekly show, we're talking Pride Week, as well as recapping the rest of Eurogamer for you.   My guests wrote some of the wonderful pieces we've published as part of Pride Week. They are show newcomers Ed Nightingale, a news reporter on Eurogamer - who you'll recognise from the Newscast - and, all the way from tabletop land, Dicebreaker senior staff writer Alex Meehan. Alex often write...

(Apologies for this episode's recording quality.)   I don't think David Gaider needs much of an introduction. He, affectionately, is mister Dragon Age. He was the one tasked with dreaming up the entire world and everything in it. We talk about it in this episode of One-to-one. BioWare's James Ohlen apparently gave Gaider a historic atlas and an "off you go".   But how did he go about creating it -...

I can't believe she flipped a coin to decide the degree she'd do. If it had fallen differently, she might have been on an archaeological dig somewhere now, in Egypt, looking at ancient bones. But instead she's here as the guides editor of Eurogamer, looking at ancient writers like me.   She is Lottie Lynn and much to our benefit, the coin she flipped landed on 'writing' instead, something that's b...

It's Weekly time, which means strap in while we recap Eurogamer this week for you. All you have to do is press play. I know, I know, we're spoiling you - you don't even have to read the site any more (note: you definitely do).   My guests today are Martin "the chief" Robinson and Chris "the brain" Tapsell, and we've got a lot to talk about. There's the whole PlayStation Plus relaunch, for starters...

PlayStation Plus is now available in the UK and mainland Europe, and we now know all of the games included in its catalogue at launch. It's enough to hit Sony's promises, certainly, though there are still odd omissions - while the lack of 60Hz for some PS1 games (for now) points to a rather rushed release.  What can Sony do to build on this launch and improve the new PlayStation Plus Premium furth...

It's episode five of Weekly, our podcast show in which we recap the week on Eurogamer for you. We know you're busy so don't worry, we've got your back.   Remember, premium supporters of Eurogamer get these episodes every Friday, whereas everyone else listens from the following Monday.

Starfield dominated Microsoft and Bethesda's E3 event, though praise has not been unanimous. It looked like a Bethesda RPG - to the surprise of people apparently expecting something else. Was it really as disappointing as some have said? Finally, with not-E3 done and dusted, we talk about 2023 - when both E3 and Summer Game Fest return as in-person events. What will that look like, and will things...

Welcome to weekly, a show where we recap the week in games on Eurogamer for you, whisking through the reviews, news, features and videos that stood out.   This week we look back at Summer Game Fest, the moment the Xbox/Bethesda conference wraps. We talk about what's been announced and what our highlights have been. And we're joined live from LA by Martin Robinson who's been at the physical incarna...

Today it's all about cookbooks. More specifically: it's about cookbooks themed around games, which are all the rage these days. Do you have one? Maybe you've got the Destiny cookbook, or perhaps you've got the Fallout cookbook. The Final Fantasy 14 cookbook? Maybe you're saving yourself for the Halo cookbook in August.     My guest today wrote all of those and she's currently writing three more. S...

Summer Game Fest brought plenty of announcements though few genuine surprises.  Eurogamer's news team shares their favourites, rates the night overall, and provides you with their best impressions of the Clickers from The Last of Us.

We keep coming back to puppetry as a running theme, and that's because, much to my surprise, Citizen Sleeper creator Gareth Damian Martin is a trained puppeteer. When they ran out of time to apply to art college, they chose puppetry instead, which would eventually take them into a career in theatre design, where they learned lots of valuable lessons - one of them being dealing with un-moveable dea...

It's the third episode of Weekly, our newish show where we recap the week on Eurogamer for you. We look at reviews and features, news and videos, and pull out some of the talking points from the week.   Those alking points this week are the PlayStation Plus relaunch, which we don't dwell on because the Newscast tackles it in much more detail. But we do dwell on the new Evil Dead game, which we've...
