IGN UK Podcast #571: The Alternative Games Awards 2020

This year, as every year, we at the IGN UK Podcast have convened as another 12 months come to an end, and come up with a load of thinly veiled excuses to talk about games we don't think will get enough attention in the proper Game of the Year awards . So sit back and join Joe, Jesse, and Alex for the likes of the "Early Access Games Are Good Actually, In Shocking Twist", "The Best Reminder to Take Care of Myself and My Family", and the "Tried to Think of a Clever Award But Actually These Were Ju...

IGN UK Podcast #570: Cyberpunk Impressions Plus The Game Awards, Marvel and Star Wars (A Lot)

Here's a bonus midweek episode of the IGN UK Podcast as there's frankly just too much stuff to ignore. Cardy, Matt and Joe have all been playing Cyberpunk 2077 and give their impressions so far, alongside discussing the absolute shambles of a release that it's been. Firstly though, there's the small matter of roughly 6,000 new games and Disney TV shows and movies to talk through as we once again ask the question "Is there too much Star Wars?". Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podca...

IGN UK Podcast #567: AC Valhalla and Yorkshire John Lennon

Joe, Dale and Cardy are back and have spent a collective 100 hours swinging axes in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, so it's time discuss everything we love about it without venturing into spoiler territory.

IGN UK Podcast #566: The Mandalorian and PS5 UK Launch Madness

Joe, Dale and Jesse are back and have a variety of opinions on The Mandalorian so far, leading us down a rabbit hole of obscure Star Wars lore like Darth Vader's boots being too small. We're also joined by a special guest, IGN's UK Social Commercial Editor, Robert to regale us in all of his PS5 launch day adventures, and the team share some more next-gen thoughts as well. We have another (not as exciting) edition of The Endless Search and respond to some of your lovely feedback. Remember, if you...

IGN UK Podcast #560: A Crispy Slice of Heaven

Joe's reviewed I Am Dead, Annapurna's new lightly puzzle-filled island game about slicing up objects. It sounds very odd, but very nice.

Also, Matt's been getting stuck into some new RPGs with Baldur's Gate 3 and Genshin Impact, both of which he's enjoying quite a bit.

IGN UK Podcast #557: PS5's Banquet of Delights

On a bountiful menu today is plenty of PS5 treats to sink our teeth into. The reveal of Final Fantasy 16 served as an attention grabbing starter, before a flurry of exciting middle courses in the form of Resident Evil, Deathloop and others. All rounded off by the show-stopping God of War shaped dessert followed by a mad rush to actually pre-order a console.

This week's IGN UK Podcast is fueled by BDE. Yes, Big Dafoe Energy.

We've also got chat from Cardy, Joe, and Matt on DC FanDome for all your Batman, Suicide Squad, and Gotham Knights needs. Plus there's some feedback. No Endless Search this week, though.

Cardy, Joe and Matt are here to dissect the great corporation war of 2020 between Epic and Apple.

IGN UK Podcast #550: Simulated Flying, Real Drowning

It is time for our most ill-advised one-off yet, our long-promised Drowning Special. We received literally dozens of emails about the funnier side of not being able to breathe underwater, and we're reading our favourites. What a time to be alive. But before that, we fulfil our contractual remit to talk about entertainment by discussing the incredible Flight Simulator, and the mind-bamboozling Superliminal. It's got a bit of everything, this show. Remember, if you want to get in touch with the po...

We also touch base on Marvel's Avengers, which impressed us in its possibilities. Alongside that, we've got thoughts on The Sinner, Snowpiercer and the Harley Quinn TV show, not to mention a new Endles...
