Gamespot's prolific Lucy James joins Joe and Cardy to discuss their experiences with Marvel's Avengers this week.

There's also some delightful indie game chat on offer including Spiritfarer and A Short Hike. There's a return for The Endless Search along with some delightful feedback and of ...

This week's IGN UK Podcast is fueled by BDE. Yes, Big Dafoe Energy. Master actor Willem Dafoe is, of course, part of the cast of 12 Minutes, just one of the games we discuss in our rundown of Gamescom's Opening Night Live. 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. But, be honest, do you need another one after last's weeks incredible scenes? Learn more a...

Cardy, Joe and Matt are here to dissect the great corporation war of 2020 between Epic and Apple. But don't worry they get back onto the usual nonsense like which Cyberpunk 2077 life path is most like Elijah Wood's in Green Street, Agent 47 whispering naughty words into his victims ears and finally, the best velvet in games is revealed. Plus, Matt has been playing Outriders while Joe and Cardy are getting round to Alan Wake in preparation for Control's upcoming DLC. A PG Tips edition of Endless ...

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...

It's ludicrously hot (read: a bit hot) in the UK right now, and it isn't helping our general state of "melted" that all these exciting games are being shown off at the moment. This week, Jesse, Matt and Joe discuss the finer points of Cyberpunk 2077 after Night City Wire and a swather of previews. 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...

Cardy and Dale have both finished the The Last of Us Part 2 but can't tell you what they think about it until next week, so for now will give you there spoiler-free impressions of the combat from a small section that they are allowed to speak about. Gavin Murphy also makes a return to tell us about his new-found Twitch obsession and how he can't bring himself to finish Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Of course, a lot of what we talk about here seems frivolous in comparison to what is happening in the wo...

Cardy, Joe and Dale are back and ready to chat about Cardy's new Overwatch review update, The Snyder cut and why we're not fans, and (for what feels like the third week in a row) Joe's still going on about Yegor's flappy pink jacket from Call of Duty Warzone.

Joe, Alex and Matt convene to discuss the end of this generation with Ghost of Tsushima, the beginning of the next with Unreal Engine 5, and eventually start discussing the age old argument of whether a story about drowning can, indeed, be funny. Between all that we've got chats about Ryan Murphy's Hollywood, What the Golf, and an Endless Search that goes notably poorly, even for that recurring feature.

Joining them is Matt who's been playing some Valorant, Cardy who's been playing with Echo, Overwatch's latest hero, and Joe who's also been trying to destroy a monster in a mountain via the medium of pinball action.

Both Dale and Matt have finished Final Fantasy 7 Remake, so who better to tell you all about it? Joe has been knee-deep in Cooking Mama conspiracy theories which he needs to offload, and Cardy has been playing more Persona 5 Royal and watching football stuff. Some things never change. There's also a selection of differing opinions about the PS5's DualSense controller and a nice little bit of general next-gen chat as well.

E3 is cancelled, which is shit. Cardy, Matt and Jesse discuss what the backup plan is for all those game companies out there before going in deep on the new Call of Duty: Warzone modes and our (brief) experiences with both Battle Royale and Plunder so far.
