IGN UK Podcast

It's been a fine week for free updates to already great games. Ghost of Tsushima has added Legends so Cardy and Matt can be samurai together before joining Joe over in Verdansk to party with zombies, Billy the Puppet, Leatherface and all the other horror lads in Warzone. As well as that we tell you why you should be watching Taskmaster and The Trial of the Chicago 7 and reading/watching Dune if yo...

Cardy quizzes both Dale and Jesse about their recent experiences in the haunted houses of Phasmophobia and Bly Manor. There's also the new PS5 UI to talk about as the next-generation of consoles fast approach. There's a tightly contested new Endless Search to play as well as some of your feedback of which only some are sandwich-based. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please...

Joe's reviewed I Am Dead, Annapurna's new lightly puzzle-filled island game about slicing up objects. It sounds very odd, but very nice. It's that time of the year again where Cardy is knee-deep in FIFA so expect some football related chat. Also, Matt's been getting stuck into some new RPGs with Baldur's Gate 3 and Genshin Impact, both of which he's enjoying quite a bit. There's also plenty of tim...

The manic marsupial, AKA Crash Bandicoot is back, and because he forgot to press record the first time; so is Dale with a second go at explaining all his thoughts on the game. Jesse is also on and has been playing a ton of Star Wars: Squadrons. In other news, he also has a new voice changer toy that distracts us for a good 30 seconds too. Cardy rounds off the trio by telling us all about his early...

Cardy, Matt and Joe tell you all why you should be playing Hades and Paradise Killer this week because they are both fantastic. There's some Black Ops Cold War chat as well along with Matt's thoughts on the US remake of cult TV show Utopia. Oh yeah, and Microsoft bought Bethesda. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com. Learn more about your ad cho...

On a bountiful menu today is plenty of PS5 treats to sink our teeth into. The reveal of Final Fantasy 16 served as an attention grabbing starter, before a flurry of exciting middle courses in the form of Resident Evil, Deathloop and others. All rounded off by the show-stopping God of War shaped dessert followed by a mad rush to actually pre-order a console. Nintendo also announced a couple of new...

The delightful Alysia Judge returns to the IGN UK Podcast, joining Dale and Alex to dissect this week's Xbox announcements and make predictions for PS5. Alysia shares her experiences of voicing a character in the open-world whodunnit Paradise Killer, plus Dale reminisces about grinding around playgrounds in Tony Hawk and how he's "still got it", whatever 'it' is.

Gamespot's prolific Lucy James joins Joe and Cardy to discuss their experiences with Marvel's Avengers this week. Also, Nintendo thought it would be a laugh to announce half a dozen Mario games out of nowhere so they delve into everything from revisiting classics to being able to drive mini Mario Karts around your house. There's also some delightful indie game chat on offer including Spiritfarer a...

This week's IGN UK Podcast is fueled by BDE. Yes, Big Dafoe Energy. Master actor Willem Dafoe is, of course, part of the cast of 12 Minutes, just one of the games we discuss in our rundown of Gamescom's Opening Night Live. We've also got chat from Cardy, Joe, and Matt on DC FanDome for all your Batman, Suicide Squad, and Gotham Knights needs.  Plus there's some feedback. No Endless Search this wee...

Matt's already seen Tenet because he's a very lucky boy, so will tell you all about it without spoiling a single thing. The time-bending theme continues as Cardy discusses his review of new puzzle game Peaky Blinders: Mastermind. Alex joins in the fun as Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War theories are proposed as well as chat about the intriguing new Black Myth: Wukong. He also provides maybe the to...

Cardy, Joe and Matt are here to dissect the great corporation war of 2020 between Epic and Apple. But don't worry they get back onto the usual nonsense like which Cyberpunk 2077 life path is most like Elijah Wood's in Green Street, Agent 47 whispering naughty words into his victims ears and finally, the best velvet in games is revealed. Plus, Matt has been playing Outriders while Joe and Cardy are...

Cardy, Matt and Jesse discuss some of the new things we saw in the latest PlayStation State of Play, the barmy fun that is Fall Guys, plus what they did and didn't like about the Avengers Beta. There's also an added dash of culture with some foreign language film chat, tangerine talk, and of course a sprinkling of drowning. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukf...

It is time for our most ill-advised one-off yet, our long-promised Drowning Special. We received literally dozens of emails about the funnier side of not being able to breathe underwater, and we're reading our favourites. What a time to be alive. But before that, we fulfil our contractual remit to talk about entertainment by discussing the incredible Flight Simulator, and the mind-bamboozling Supe...

Cardy, Joe and Matt are talking all about the shiny new Xbox games including Halo Infinite, the return of Fable, and a lot of Gunk. There's a devilishly hard quiz this week, some impromptu haikus and of course, lots of bizarre food chat. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

This week, we're joined by Gamespot honcho and confirmed anime boy Tamoor Hussain to talk through our feelings on Ghost of Tsushima, Paper Mario, Snowpiercer, Song of Bloom, Dark, Diablo, and one very rude line that Redman said once. We play a game of PG Tips, and have a bloody good time. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com. Learn more about yo...

A few weeks ago Joe, Dale and Cardy gave their thoughts on The Last of Us Part 2. They also asked for your thoughts and now that Alex, Matt and Jesse have also finished the game, it's time to share your opinions with the world. If you've yet to finish The Last of Us 2 don't worry, because there's a brand new Endless Search game right at the beginning of the podcast. That'll keep you busy for 10 mi...

Joe's been flying around as Iron Man and Jesse has been jumping around a neo-Notre Dame all from the comfort of their own homes. Aren't video games mad when you think about it?! As well as Iron Man VR and Hyper Scape chat, Joe also wants to tell you all about how excited he is by Fuser, the new DJ game from Harmonix. Plus, Cardy is still playing playing Call of Duty. Go On Name Them makes a long-a...

It's ludicrously hot (read: a bit hot) in the UK right now, and it isn't helping our general state of "melted" that all these exciting games are being shown off at the moment. This week, Jesse, Matt and Joe discuss the finer points of Cyberpunk 2077 after Night City Wire and a swather of previews. We also touch base on Marvel's Avengers, which impressed us in its possibilities. Alongside that, we'...

Cardy, Joe and Dale are here with a special episode talking full spoilers for The Last of Us Part 2. We breakdown the full plot, talk about what we loved and in some small cases, what we didn't. I think it goes without saying, but if you haven't finished the game yet, DON'T listen to this till you do. Don't worry, it's not going anywhere. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoi...

EA Play may not have blown us away, but there were a few juicy nuggets in there for us to get excited about. Cardy, Alex and Jesse squad up to discuss the return of Skate, an exciting look at Star Wars: Squadrons, and the new game from self-proclaimed maverick, Josef Fares. Also a fun new Endless Search variant and a bundle of feedback. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, pleas...

The future of gaming is here! Join Joe, Matt and Cardy as they pick out what caught their eye from Sony's big PlayStation 5 reveal blowout spectacular. It's also The Last of Us Part 2 review day, so at the end of this week's episode Cardy and Dale have a little chat about their overall impressions of the game. Don't worry, it's completely spoiler-free! Remember, if you want to get in touch with th...

Cardy and Dale have both finished the The Last of Us Part 2 but can't tell you what they think about it until next week, so for now will give you there spoiler-free impressions of the combat from a small section that they are allowed to speak about. Gavin Murphy also makes a return to tell us about his new-found Twitch obsession and how he can't bring himself to finish Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Of c...

Turns out a lot of you are VERY passionate about The Snyder Cut. Joe, Dale and Matt read out a bunch of your feedback and carry on the debate. Normal service then resumes with Matt sharing his thoughts on the new People Can Fly game, Outriders, and Joe and Dale explain their disappointment with Maneater. We're also back with the Endless Search, MORE of your near death stories and mad food combos....

Cardy, Joe and Dale are back and ready to chat about Cardy's new Overwatch review update, The Snyder cut and why we're not fans, and (for what feels like the third week in a row) Joe's still going on about Yegor's flappy pink jacket from Call of Duty Warzone. We're also back with the Endless Search and all of your near death, drowning experience stories. Surprisingly, quite a lot of you nearly dro...

Joe, Alex and Matt convene to discuss the end of this generation with Ghost of Tsushima, the beginning of the next with Unreal Engine 5, and eventually start discussing the age old argument of whether a story about drowning can, indeed, be funny. Between all that we've got chats about Ryan Murphy's Hollywood, What the Golf, and an Endless Search that goes notably poorly, even for that recurring fe...
