Plucked eyeballs. Disembowelment. Vampire lavatories. Such things are everyday occurrences for our special guest Lee Hardcastle, a man responsible for more violent Plasticine deaths than Aardman's local recycling centre. He's here to chat to Stu, Chris and Luke about short film Ghost Burger and the disproportionate advantage of banana skins in Mario Kart. Also this week, Tom speaks to Thor: The Dark World director Alan Taylor and producer Kevin Feige about the Marvel Universe and there's a bonus...

The gods were smiling upon the IGN UK podcast this week as we were blessed with not one, but TWO special guests: IGN Twitter wizard Eriq Martin, visiting from San Francisco, and Rob Kazinsky, fresh from the set of True Blood - though you might also know him as Chuck Hansen from Pacific Rim or, yes, Sean Slater from Eastenders. Join them and boring, normal old Alex, Keza and Tom as they discuss a multitude of nonsense, including: Rob's frankly quite debilitating addiction to video games GTA V and...

We'll level with you. We've neglected the mailbag for too long, and it seems loads more people have started writing of late. So we thought we'd take the opportunity to rummage around in the big old sack and answer some of the most pressing questions. And we of course tackle the issue of the Nintendo 2DS.

Welcome to a very special instalment of the IGN UK Podcast live from Gamescom (well, it was live when we recorded it). We’ve braved the hordes of ravenous gamers, savouring the very best of what the show has to offer, and in the process Alex has become more than a little obsessed with Titanfall. But that’s not all, Keza’s played with some Pokémon, Krupa’s beaten Alex at FIFA, and Rich… well, Rich has just eaten a lot of German food and done a lot of editing.

Join Daniel, Stu, and Chris for the very first podcast recorded in our brand-new studio.

Welcome fearless traveller. You're about to embark on a journey into the dark, into the unknown. Actually, this week has some semblance of order as we talk about the big news of the week: Nintendo's dire quarterly financials BioShock DLC revealed Fez II unexpectedly cancelled And if that wasn't enough to be getting on with, we also talk about the future of Nintendo in general, go through loads of Reader FU, and of course, we've give you an insight into the new office if you're interested (you're...

It's been a long week... and we haven't recorded a podcast on a Friday afternoon for a long time, so forgive us. Please forgive us. But fear not, Alex has returned and tell us all about E3 from the front lines.

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 dissect ea...

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 what'...

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 your ...

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 weeke...

Welcome, friends. Settle down, put on some headphones, and listen to the IGN UK team talk about the day a few weeks ago when we saw Grand Theft Auto 5. 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 tha...

This week on the IGN UK podcast we talk about all the announcements Nintendo made for the 3DS – new Zelda and a new Yoshi's Island – and why it's quickly becoming one of our favourite platforms. But that's not all, we go through the big new features for FIFA 14 (sadly, it's not set in the 80s) and the prospect of having a new Star Wars movie every summer. Too much?

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 Man of...

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 of ...
