The Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens trailer dropped and everyone lost their minds, including the UK podcast team. Listen to/watch them dissect, analyse and evaluate that bad boy. There's also lots of chat about Daredevil, The Jinx and Mortal Kombat X. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this week's podcast Rory, Chris & Gav examine the case for and against Christoph Waltz playing Blofeld in Spectre as well as trying not to get too sad about David Lynch leaving the Twin Peaks revival. To be honest, the podcast is worth listening to alone for the bit where Rory sticks on his tinfoil hat to try and decode some cryptic viral marketing. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week, Chris & Gav discuss the time they watched Interstellar with Prof. Stephen Hawking and whether they now understand Chris Nolan's epic sci-fi movie (*spoilers* they still don't have a clue). Luke gets very upset when he's introduced to a very special robotic guest live on the podcast, and as always the guys pick their favourite things that happened this week in the world of movies, games and just about everything else.

Three guys start playing Bloodborne. One's finished Dark Souls, one played a bit, one ran away in fear of From Software. That pretty much sums up this week's podcast crew of Krupa, Gav, and Luke, who have all been spending the week exploring the dark and winding alleyways of Yharnam. Learn more about your ad choices.

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. We took it far too seriously (apart from Alex who was wearing a bright red hoodie for Comic Relief). We also talk about how Battlefield's take on Heists compare with those in GTA Online, as well as the massive Nintendo news from earlier in the week and the beautiful PlayStation 4 exclusive Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. As always, that's in addition to the regular nonsense. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We really are spoiling you with our pod-guests these days. Hot-on-the-heels of Ex Machina’s Alex Garland and Evolve’s Phil Robb, we’ve now got games journalist-turned-screenwriter Gary Whitta joining Chris and Gav for an epic cast. Whitta started out in the games industry in the late 1980s before making the transition to film via The Book of Eli and Another Earth. For the last year he’s been busy working in a galaxy far, far away, writing the first standalone movie in the new Star Wars cycle, which will be directed by Gareth ‘Godzilla’ Edwards and hitting screens December 2016. Gary doesn’t reveal much about the movie – bound as he is by the mother of all non-disclosure agreements – but he does talk about his love of The Empire Strikes Back, how the original trilogy inspired his generation of writers and filmmakers, and what working on this new movie has been like as a creative experience. Oh, and his failure in a Star Wars quiz many moons ago also gets a (somewhat unfair) mention. If that weren’t enough, Gary offers his advice to aspiring screenwriters, talks about games as an art-form in the 21st Century, explains where’s he’s at with his adaptation of Mark Millar comic Starlight, tells an AMAZING story aboutFrank Darabont, and gives us the skinny on his forthcoming novel Abomination, which is available via pre-sale this Monday, February 9. Braking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul hits Netflix this week so the boys discuss their hopes and fears for the show, while the conversation about potential TV reboots rumbles on, with Star Trek, The Crystal Maze and Green Wing all getting a mention in reader feedback. Out this week includes games Gunman Clive 2, Game of Thrones Episode 2 and Evolve, while the big movie releases are Selma, Shaun the Sheep and Jupiter Ascending. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bloodborne and The Avengers, Evolve and Star Wars, The Witcher 3 and Jurassic World. Blimey, 2015 is shaping up to be a year of blistering, blockbuster entertainment at home and on the big screen. We thought a methodical appraisal of the year's coming treats was in order, so we printed off a big list, grabbed some highlighters, and sat in room to discuss the lot in chronological order. Sensible fun, we think you'll agree. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you're anything like us, you may be slightly surprised to find yourself staring down the barrel of 2015. The last few months have been so hectic with big releases and even bigger post-release problems that we haven't really had time to take stock of things. With this in mind, Luke, Alex and Chris thought it'd be a good time to sit down and run through the biggest and best games and movies that came out this year. It's been a pretty impressive one across the board, yet there are definitely some serious standouts. So what are you waiting for? Don't forget to join us again next week for the first podcast of 2015, where we'll be running through what's giving us tingles in our nethers for the year ahead. Learn more about your ad choices.

So join Luke, Chris and Rory as they discuss everything from the long-awaited news that GTA Online is getting Heists to the continuing saga that is The Interview.

To celebrate Halloween, we've recorded a horror special, but before we get to the scary stuff, Chris, Dan and new boy Gav discuss all things Marvel. With the studio announcing their Phase 3 slate - which includes standalone movies for Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Black Panther - there's lots to talk about on the superhero front. And as the podcast is dropping on October 31, we discuss our perfect Halloween night in, which involves cheese, 1980s horror, and a young Krupa dressing up as a ghost and standing on his own in the garden. Sad times. Reader feedback covers IGN's review process (again) movie and game soundtracks (again) and some new stuff that we won't spoil here. As for the week's new releases, we've for Sunset Overdrive, Walking Dead, NBA Live and more on the game front, while Ouja, Horns and the brilliant Nightcrawler his cinema screens...

Hello chums! It's Friday, it's autumn, it's been a busy week, so what better way to cope with everything that's going on by listening to us lot desperately try to wrap our heads round it all. Yes, Alex, Krupa, Luke and Chris return once more to cover this week's biggest news, from the PS4 passing a milestone in our green and pleasant land, all the way to the Arkham Knight release date being somewhat later than originally planned. We've diversified this week into covering niche interests, which is why we're also chatting about Apple's little event and this small indie game called Destiny. Come and be educated! All of this is, as usual, topped off with a bumper load of your excellent feedback. So sit back, kick up your heels, and prepare for the most intense aurgasm (it's a mix of aural and orgasm) of your life. Or something. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

Hello friends! It's Friday, which can only mean one thing - the IGN UK Podcast is back to assault your senses in the most delightful way. This week it's Luke, Krupa, Alex and Chris in the hot seats, dissecting all the biggest stories of the week. Pressing matters include the leaking of Assassin's Creed Rogue and the news about Resident Evil getting remastered, as well as the speculation about Studio Ghibli's future. It's a thrilling time. There's also a fair bit of discussion about doughnuts and what Alex got up to on his holibobs. For those of you watching the video version, you'll note he's looks like he's been varnished a shade of rich mahogany. Do not adjust your sets, that's actually how he looks. We're as confused as you. So sit back, relax, and let us built an auditory life raft upon which you can float atop all your worldly woes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's Friday, which means the IGN UK Podcast team have once again roused themselves from a collective stupor to shower you with bants, reflection and insight. Mainly the first one, if we're honest. This week sees Luke, Daniel, Chris and Rich get the trusty mics out in order to discuss everything from the rumoured Star Wars: Episode VII plot, to the official Doom 4 details, all via Marvel's proposed release schedule. We also have a good old chinwag about whether Comic-Con has evolved so much that it's no longer fulfilling its original purpose as a fan festival. We tie it all up by advising you what games and films you should be looking out for, and answering your feedback. Although at this point I'd like to make it abundantly clear that I can grow facial hair. Lots of lovely, long facial hair. I'm like Gandalf in that respect. The fact I'm magical and also possess my own staff is a happy coincidence, however. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You came back. You really came back for another week? Don't get me wrong, we're happy you did, and your blind loyalty is rewarded by the introduction of the latest member of the team: IGN Robot, who reviews this week's game and film releases. But there's more. We condense the week's news into a information rich 10 minutes, before tackling the subject of summer blockbusters and what their future looks like. Transformers: Age of Extinction is a huge commercial success but a critical flop. So are blockbusters 100% critic proof? Is there still room for smart summer entertainment, like the forthcoming Dawn of the Planet of the Apes? We discuss how the summer popcorn movie has changed and will continue to grow.

Hello again you lucky things. Yes, it's that time of week again, where Luke, Alex, Krupa and Rich gather to talk all things entertainment-related for your audible enjoyment. This week's been an interesting one, with rumours and leaks cropping up all over the place. So many leaks, in fact, we've taken to wearing galoshes to work in a bid to stop the water from damaging our lovely suede shoes. I write this from a paddling pool raft, adrift in an ocean of speculation. Top of the list for dissection are the mutterings about the new Star Wars: Episode VII villains, the big Witcher 3 file leaks and reports that Matt Damon is set to return to the Bourne franchise. We also discuss the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trailer, obviously, which segues rather nicely into a chat about our famous British comedies of all time. If you're at a bit of a low ebb this weekend, there's definitely some recommendations here that'll brighten your day. So what are you waiting for?! Dive on in. Hopefully there won't be any audio issues this week but, if there are, it's Rich's fault. So send us advice on how he should be punished. Until next week! Learn more about your ad choices.

Happy Friday, friends! Yes, it's that time of week again and we've got a brand new episode of the IGN UK Podcast ready to ease its into your lugholes. Exciting times ahead. This week Luke, Krupa, Alex and Chris discuss a number of things, from how Luke and Krupa coped with their first E3 to how Tilly is preparing for his imminent trip to Brazil to watch England's third match. Given last night's performance he's probably slightly less excited now. We've also got a bumper amount of feedback from you guys, with you telling us your favourite moments from our podcasting history and what you made of E3. It also leads to a revelation from Luke that he only plays Mortal Kombat for the story. This does not go down well. We hope you enjoy it and have fantastic weekends!

You've all seen some of that picture - the biggest names in Hollywood, sat around on comfy chairs, deep in discussion about one of the most anticipated releases in entertainment history. But enough of this week's IGN UK podcast and it's hosts Alex, Stu, Krupa and Chris, spare a thought for the new and old (and very old) faces of Star Wars Episode 7, which is this week's hot topic of conversation. Will it live up to the hype, or should we approach with excited caution, much like we are the Justice League movie? Elsewhere, there's a bucket-load of reader feedback in which we continue our search for the UK's oldest gamer (surprise! It's not Stu), plus we chew over the week's news.
