IGN UK Podcast

As the end of the year approaches, we've become remarkably introspective, and retrospective, on this week's IGN UK Podcast. Yes, lots of people will be dishing out award over the coming month, including IGN's proper ones, but these right here are real awards. Don't worry no one will read this, so that's a little secret between us and you. Don't tell. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megapho...

Anyone who's anyone in games media were at The Games Awards in LA this week. Except us. But fear not, we got in early this morning and watched all the trailers because we're professionals, and so we could go through them all on this week's podcast. We've also been playing a brilliant game called  Don't Get Got, and there's a brief Coverwatch update, which let's face it – that's why you're here. Le...

This week we settle the debate which has plagued pop culture nerds for years... Which film series is better: Star Wars or Rocky?  By the end of this podcast not only will you have a definitive answer to that question but you will have also heard from Creed 2 director Steven Caple Jr. and the fantastic Tessa Thompson.  Krupa, Dale and Gav also give you their predictions on where they think the seri...

After a brief chat about drying racks and disgusting toothpaste anecdote, Gav, Joe and Krupa get onto the big business of the week. We discuss the Lion King trailer, we give another shout-out to The Sinner Season 2 and we evangelise Mr. Blobby. And then, as an extra-special treat, we talk about our latest hands-on with official Most Exciting 2019 Game Observation, and have a nice little chat with...

This week, Gav, Rory and Joe discuss the finer points of Sony's E3 no-show, and then somehow start discussing the madness that is Rory's (theoretical) house. That candy machine sure is loud. That's not to mention our chats about The Sinner season 2, Pokemon Let's Go's brilliant walking animations, and Smaug's anatomy. But is any of that as exciting as the fact that we are, finally, going to be sho...

Join Joe, Alex and Rory as they discuss Red Dead Online, Fallout 76, Overwatch's new character, Shrek, Snapchat filter failures and a chair may or may not be an arse. That got a bit out of hand.

This week we've got some lovely spoiler-free chat about our favourite moments (so far) in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Gav's been getting all chummy with Sean Bean for Hitman 2.  We've also got the maddest link for Keyword Countdown ever and a BRAND NEW (sort of) feature - it's even got a jingle!  Remember if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com   Learn more ab...

We're big fans of Halloween at the IGN UK podcast so we thought we'd celebrate this week by bringing you a big ol' episode dedicated to it.  We've done a nice rundown of all the spookiest goings on in the cinema, on Netflix and on regular people telly. There's also a full-on spoiler discussion about the new Halloween film and as if that wasn't enough we're joined by THREE special guests.  You'll f...

Due to tangible demand, the IGN UK podcast is BACK! This week we've mostly been playing Dark Souls on Switch, getting the willies stuffed up us by The Haunting of Hill House and watching Nicolas Cage go berzerkoid.  We also watched Bad Times at the El Royale which we didn't have any particularly strong feelings about either way but sometimes we come up with the title of the podcast before we recor...

It's a packed week on the podcast, as Gav, Dale and Joe convene to discuss why Fallout 76 is best when it's not being a Fallout game, why game maps are getting too big, what Observation is, and why Joe might be mentioned on Waluigi's Wikipedia page. Plus, obviously, there's Keyword Countdown - we know it's all you're here for. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's double quiz week on the UK podcast. Why? Because Cardy had already written Boss Keyword Countdown before we realised a massive prop auction might make good quiz content. You're welcome. Also: American Vandal, Hollow Knight, and all the celebrities you people live near and watch on the daily. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Look, we could talk about Shenmue, or Succession, or any of the new stuff we've been indulging in this week, but Gav's bang back into Lost and he's got a bone to pick with a temple. Plus, why flashbacks are bad film-making, if playing cards other than the Queen are female, and Keyword Countdown. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's been a very long week, but three intrepid podcasters made it back to the office to do a little special podcast. Those brave boys are Krupa, Rory, and Simon, and they're here to tell you about their favourite games they've played this week, as well as what takeaway they're ordering a recovery treat, not to mention all the augments they'd riddle their bodies with given half the chance.  Learn m...

We stretch the truthfulness of our podcast's name this week, as Joe and Cardy are joined by Tina and Andrew from the IGN San Francisco office. We talk all things Gamescom, hear a lovely story about Final Fantasy X, and feel the looming jeopardy of our US bosses realising just what it is we're up to over here, before shutting this all down. Plus, a new and exciting all-American Boss Keyword Countdo...

Join us on a not-so dark tour of contemporary popular entertainment. Marvel at our informed discussion of Red Dead 2!

What do you get if you cross a rapper with a chicken that can poop bombs and a giant statue of Jeff Goldblum? Give up? It's this week's podcast, ya numpty!  Krupa's been playing Bomb Chicken, Gav's been watching The Defiant Ones and everyone's been enjoying a giant Jurassic Park statue.  Thanks to everyone that sponsored us for our 10k, it was HARD. You can still chuck in some pennies if you're up...

On the surface, you'd think we'd gone all professional this week. We cover Fortnite Season 5, Captain Toad, We Happy Few and GLOW - classic fare. So how did Cardy, Joe and Rory get onto illicit 3DS photography, drugs and absolutely ruined jokes? We don't know, and we can only apologise. Please also sponsor us for running the British 10k this weekend. It's all going to the incredible Special Effect...

On this week's podcast Rory and Gav have just got back from acting like damn fools in Athens, Cardy's been watching The Incredibles 2 and we have a brand new (possibly reoccurring feature) "Michael Giacchino needs to calm the f**k down!"  Please also sponsor us for running the British 10k next week. We're so close to our target now: http://bit.ly/RunIGN  Get in touch with us: ign_ukfeedback@ign.co...

Despite our brief opening talk about YouTuber beefs, we actually talk some Overwatch this week including the brand new hero, The Wrecking Ball, Hammond and Rory's live Overwatch League experience. We've also all got strong opinions on the new Predator and Mandy trailers and of course, another delicious game of Keyword Countdown. Oh! And please sponsor us for the Special Effect 10K run we're doing...
