July 26, 2013 09:47 - 47 minutes

Forget what we said last week - this is our last podcast in the old office.

It's a mini-edition of the IGN UK Podcast this week, but it's still packed full of good stuff, like a yoghurt.

June 28, 2013 16:12 - 39 minutes

IGN UK Podcast #190: E 2 Brute

June 14, 2013 15:56 - 59 minutes

Been following all the big announcements at E3 from your bedroom? Yeah, us too – so while Keza and Alex have been busy in the LA sun, we've been stuck in London. But it's not all bad, Daniel, Tom, and Rich headed down to London's finest video game hangout, the Loading bar in Soho for a special live podcast. It's a little bit noisy, but you can make out most of what we're rambling on about. We talk about Etoo – a special event that took place for those us stuck back in Blighty – and we dissec...

IGN UK Podcast #189: E3 For All

June 07, 2013 14:21 - 1 hour

So not much is really happening next week. Some games are being announced or summat. Now, we jest, it's E3 – the week the internet melts. In this week's podcast we look forward to each and every press conference, and make some pretty bold predications which will inevitably be proved hideously wrong. So join Stu, Tom, and Krupa for a round-up of what will be going down next week. What games does Xbox One have up its sleeve? PS4 – what will it look like? Can Nintendo win everyone around? And w...

IGN UK Podcast #188: By the Rivers of Babble On

May 31, 2013 13:33 - 51 minutes

Hello, you lovely, beautiful people, and welcome to the IGNUK podcast. This week our numbers have been depleted but don't worry the quality hasn't suffered one iota – that remains impeccably shoddy. So join Stu, Keza, and Krupa as they discuss everything from next-gen launch prices to Bid TV, Arrested Development to the philosophy of internet memes. There's even time to talk about Peter Molyneux's lifechanging box. That's all on this week's podcast, so do yourself a favour and download it ...

IGN UK Podcast 186: It's Coming...

May 17, 2013 13:43 - 54 minutes

With less than a week to go before we finally get concrete details on what the next Xbox will be, Alex, Tom and Stu take one last swing at what they want the console to do. One thing's for sure, it won't play Gran Turismo 6, which was announced this week, but you'd hope it's future is slightly brighter than the Wii U's, which took another knock when EA announced it had zero Wii U games in development. None. Nada. But hey, don't feel sad! Put a smile on your face by sitting back, popping on y...

IGN UK Podcast #185: The Director's Cut

May 10, 2013 13:32 - 47 minutes

Xbox might be called Infinity. The World's coming to an end. And Thor might be reluctant to get back into the gym and make extremely bland omelettes. In light of seeing the brilliantly barmy Richard Donner cut of Superman II, we also get round to talking all about our favourite Director's Cuts. Intrigued? You should be. Daniel, Chris, Stu and Keza also round-up the week's hottest news and cast their eyes over the upcoming games and movies, so you know what to spend your hard-earned on this...

We've been bottling up our feelings, but now it's time to let it all out. Daniel can finally express his long-held wish for a game that combines good scuba-diving and Hollywood heist moments. Alex can froth over falling out of planes and wrestling bears. Keza can bibble about how good the countryside looks. And we can all share our conviction ...

IGN UK Podcast #181: Spontaneously Combusting in Your Ears

April 12, 2013 10:16 - 1 hour

This week the IGN UK crew endeavour to sort the wheat from the chafe in terms of Xbox 720 rumours. Will it always be on? Can it detect your eyes? Will it be backwards compatible? To be honest, your guess is as good as ours, but we sure had fun speculating about it. Alex, Chris, Rich and Stu also examine two of 2013’s biggest sci-fi flicks in the shape of Oblivion and Elysium, talk Dark Souls 2 and Far Cry 3, and find out just what is missing from Zack Snyder’s forthcoming superhero reboot Ma...

IGN UK Podcast #179: It's Snaaake, You Muppets!

March 29, 2013 16:08 - 48 minutes

This week has been a beauty if, like most of the IGN UK crew, you have eyes that work. Trailers for Battlefield 4 and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain have both dropped like a fresh seagull dropping from San Francisco, causing this week's podcast team of Alex, Daniel, Chris and Rich to go 'ooh' and 'aah' a lot. Also in the chatter-cannon firing line is this week's news including a really detailed breakdown on the new GTA V screens, PS Vita's indie resurrection and Chris' visit to the set...

IGN UK Podcast #177: Monsters, Gods and Cities

March 15, 2013 15:24 - 46 minutes

It’s IGN UK Podcast time again and our thrillsome topic this week is… urban planning! Or rather, the lack of planning that seems to have resulted in SimCity’s woeful launch, which has been a full-on fiasco. We also chat about why the Bioshock movie didn’t happen, and whether it should have, Nintendo’s apparent patent infringement, the Marvel Heroes Arena Spectacular Stage Show and the perils of portraying Spiderman, Keza and Luke’s experiences monster hunting, and why Alex never wants to loo...

February 15, 2013 17:24 - 1 hour

February 08, 2013 20:13 - 47 minutes

Welcome to another IGN UK Podcast. Today, we're talking about Rayman Legends going multiplatform (what does this mean for the Wii U?), the mooted price of the PlayStation 4, the potential for a Boba Fett and Yoda spinoff movie, and the prospect of a new Assassin's Creed game set in a new historical period. Does anyone else fancy an AC game set in the 1970s with platform boots and DISCO beats? Nah, just us then. IGN UK Podcast #172: With Extra Lens Flare – 46.8 MB (right click to save) Sub...

AWOOGA! AWOOGA!

We also address the flood of PS4 rumours we've heard, and then panic when the fire alarm goes off midway through recording. Luckily Alex, Krupa, Chris and Stu weren't burnt to a crisp and made it through to the end of the podcast. But there's a lot to get through, so let's go!...
