IGN UK Podcast #334: Warcraft Is Like a Teddy Left in the Woods

June 03, 2016 10:29 - 1 hour

If you'll learn one thing in this episode, it's that Preacher is gross. If you'll learn two things, it's that Preacher is gross, and that Rory's dad is a sort of modern Spartan. If you'll learn three things, it's Preacher=gross, Rory=Spartan progeny and that there is a Spider-Man who is a pig. We were also apparently less disappointed by the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film than Warcraft, and Krupa once played frisbee with either some goop or a man's face.

IGN UK Podcast #333: In Overwatch, What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Sonia

May 27, 2016 10:55 - 1 hour

After last week's, er, heavy review scores chat, new podcast dream team Gav, Alysia and Joe reconvened to relax a little. We talked Overwatch, we talked half-forgotten English soap opera stars, and we talked James Young, the man with the incredible Metal Gear-connected bionic arm. Plus Keyword Countdown gets FOUR new theme tunes, and Alysia loses her freaking mind because Joe is the best. Oh, and if you want to sponsor us to run 10 kilometres/perish for charity, here's our Just Giving page:...

#332: Review Scores, Judged

May 20, 2016 14:05 - 1 hour

This week, we were joined by a new member of Team IGN UK, Alysia Judge. As is traditional, we had a long and semi-furious rant about the problems of review scores in the modern games industry as a result. Classic hazing. Also there's, you know, horror films, going on a stag do from the men from Catherine and the real definition of male full frontal nudity. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

#331: Game of Thrones: A Thief's Rear End

May 13, 2016 16:01 - 1 hour

We're bang into Uncharted 4, not least because it makes our consoles sound like terrifying spaceships by putting them under way too much performance strain. Plus: Green Room might be Gav's film of the year, Overwatch might be Joe's game of the year and Game of Thrones doesn't make Alex quite as sad anymore. Positivity abounds! And if that wasn't enough, this week sees the return of the greatest feature of all time, Keyword Countdown. And we're not just saying that because Joe's writing this ...

IGN UK Podcast #330 - We Want a Variety of Fragranced Urines

May 06, 2016 17:09 - 1 hour

To use the parlance of our times, Overwatch has emerged out of a jungle of MOBA-infused FPS games and ganked us right in the excitement buttons. Krupa, Joe and Dale are just a little enthused about the potential of Blizzard's new characterful shooter. And that's not to mention trips to see hidden Star Wars stories, a man nearly stabbing Gav off of a balcony, and the genetic differences between those who are and aren't... affected by asparagus. Get involved, if you please. Learn more about y...

IGN UK Podcast #329 - Mr. Zurkon Will Tear Your D**k Off

April 29, 2016 14:51 - 1 hour

IGN UK Podcast #327: Rory Powers, Spy-Guy

April 15, 2016 11:10 - 1 hour

We went into Miitomo with Nintendo-grade grins on our faces, but not long after and we're wishing there was a little more to it. So where does Nintendo go next? We have all the questions and probably one or two answers. Other than that, we've got a quiz about the weirdest games Joe's played recently, we can't make up our minds about whether zombie games are actually fun and Rory reveals his childhood past as an amateur spy. On his mum and cat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megapho...

IGN UK Podcast #309: The Best and Worst TV of 2015

December 11, 2015 13:08 - 1 hour

As 2015 draws to a close, Gav, Chris and Dale review the year's television, talking Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Mr Robot and Better Call Saul. It was a year when second seasons were either very good, or very bad, with Fargo falling into the former camp, and True Detective and Broadchurch very much the latter. As far as comedy was concerned, Broad City was unexpectedly hilarious, and Peep Show went out with a bang. Mad Men also had a impressive finale, while documentary The Jinx blew our minds. ...
