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...

E3 might be over, but we somehow still aren't sick of talking about it. Joe's got all the behind-the-scenes deets (and slightly contrarian opinions) on Cyberpunk 2077, Dale and Simon have been on a romantic little Forza holiday to a Bond lair, and we talk our way through the latest Mario Tennis. Also, there's a bit where Joe goes mad because they're putting Neanderthal brain bits into crab robots....

E3, the biggest event in the gaming calendar, just took place in LA. There's a lot to get through. Gav, Cardy, and Krupa dish out the unofficial IGN awards from back here in London, while we've got Joe, Rory, and Dale on the ground in LA to tell you the best of what they actually got to play.

To celebrate the release of Deadpool 2 we've gone mutant MAD and run down some of the weirdest mutant powers from the X-Men comics.  We've also got Josh Brolin aka Cable aka the man with the naughtiest finger click in the galaxy for a big old interview where he does impressions of Marvel head Kevin Feige, questions Gav's British credentials and tells us about lies he's told.  There's also one of t...

Gav's been hanging out with dinosaurs in Cambridge. Bit far-fetched, etc., etc. Krupa's been goggling at the new Predator trailer. And Simon, well, Simon's fuming about something... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We're dedicating this week's entire podcast to Avengers: Infinity War because, well, they've blood well earned it!  We've got Tom Hiddleston, Letitia Wright & Sebastian Stan as well as the awesome directors Joe and Anthony Russo stopping by and we rank the Top 5 Best Marvel Cinematic Universe scenes ever.  We also do a big old Infinity War spoiler-filled discussion in the second half of the podcas...

Plus, Keyword Countdown gets spicy with a close-fought showdown. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week Krupa's been playing that new God of War, but to be honest that bit mainly ends up being about the canonical status of what happened in Hollyoaks Afer Dark. If you don't know what that is, it's like naughty Hollyoaks. If you don't know what Hollyoaks is – well, there's no helping you. We've seen a little bit of Infinity War, but can't talk about it, so enjoy that. And enjoy the really, r...

This week we're joined by possibly the nicest man to grace this earth, John Krasinski. Krazzers was in town to talk about his new film A Quiet Place and was patient enough with Gav to talk about The Office, auditioning for Captain America and The Prestige.  We also hear about Alysia's recent trip to the Games Developer Conference and Rory's been playing the new Dark Souls Remastered. Get in touch:...

Two boys, two films. Krupa and Joe cover Ready Player One and brilliant new horror anthology Ghost Stories before, like all the best horror films, we pull the rug right out from under you. Krupa sat down with Ghost Stories' creators, Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson to talk through adapting their play as a movie, how it uses conjuring to frighten you, and the rise of anthology stories. Enjoy! Learn mor...
