IGN UK Podcast (IGN & Geek Media)

It's gaming Christmas, aka The Game Awards, in which dozens of adverts for upcoming video games arrive at Geoff Keighley's awards ceremony. Cardy stayed up all night to watch them because he's mad, and so he joins Alex and Matt on this week's IGN UK podcast to talk about all the highlights. (Alex and Matt watched the trailers this morning like normal people). In addition to discussing the likes of Star Wars: Eclipse, Alan Wake 2, Sommerville, Arc Raiders, Space Marine 2, and Suicide Squad, this week's podcast also covers the big topic of the week: Halo Infinite's campaign. Has 343 Industries finally made a campaign that lives up to the best of Bungie, or does the open world design just not suit Master Chief? We've got plenty of thoughts. Plus, to make this episode extra special, we've got an interview with one of the finest directors in history: Mr. Steven Spielberg. As ever, there's another edition of the Endless Search (this time it's Halo flavoured) and we respond to your feedback about replaying games and sucking on chocolate.

Cardy, Matt and Dale like what they saw from the new Horizon: Forbidden West gameplay so are here to tell you all about it. Cardy and Matt have also been having a mixed time with Biomutant and some fleeting fun with Knockout City. Oh, and Zack Snyder has made another film so Army of the Dead is also on the menu. There's of course an Endless Search to play as well as some URGENT feedback to respond to this week. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

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

Cardy, Joe, and Dale are here to run through the five best things they each did over the Christmas break. We've got superheroes, detectives, murders, and metaverses among many other topics.

Jonathan Ross joins us for the usual melange of games, comics and movies chat. Remember when we said we were going to have a special guest on the podcast a few weeks ago? It’s happened – we got TV’s motor-mouthed and geeky-brained Jonathan Ross in to talk to us about his new games and comics projects and, of course, them video games. We even filmed it for your added enjoyment. Take a look at our wee faces: We chat about the mobile games studio that Jonathan’s been involved with and its recently re-released game, Catcha Catcha Aliens, Miyazaki and Japanese films, celebrity name-dropping, Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, microtransactions, superhero films, Tomb Raider, a bit of Bioshock and the coming year’s big movies and games. Seriously, we really went on a bit. You can listen or download below. We’ll be back next week sans Ross - but there's plenty to digest in the meantime.

It's Christmas time and that means it's a time for peace, reflection and soul-searching. And what better way to do all those things than in a bloody novelty quiz?! Yes, for the second year running us IGN UK folk decided to sunder ourselves into two teams and pit our wits against each other in an intense battle for dominance. Will Alex and Chris emerge victorious? Or are Krupa and Luke destined for glory? Will Stu make it through hosting duties without a drink?! Who can say, but it does get a bit Road to Damascus when the anagram round crops up. As it's Christmas, we've decided to offer you this podcast in video form, which is the way the baby Jesus would have wanted you to enjoy it. If you're stuck in your ways though, then never fear! The standard audio link is also present. So have a listen, play along and make sure you have an absolutely cracking Christmas.

Turns out we're excellent at stealth. Seriously. With Battlefield Hardline coming out this week, the podcast crew was invited to a mystery location in Central London to break into a top-secret facility and empty a heavily-guarded vault.

Turns out there's not that much new out this week, so we used this as an opportunity to take stock and share our thoughts on The Falcon and The Winter Soldier now we're past the halfway point. Matt and Dale have also played a lot more of Outriders and it's fair to say opinions are... mixed. Joe is also here waxing lyrical about his love for It Takes Two and documentaries about art forgery. We also have another listeneer submitted Endless Search game to play which exposes more than we'd like to admit about our gaming habits. Learn more about your ad choices.

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 look at God of War ever again.

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 story.

There's so much good in this week's podcast that we had to call the server nerds at IGN and tell them to chuck on more logs. We've had a week with the Nintendo Switch (it's good) and saw Logan (it's very good) and Kong: Skull Island (also good). Let's take a moment to appreciate how good life is right now by listening to three men gob off into microphones.  Get in touch with us: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com       Learn more about your ad choices.
