IGN UK Podcast

The old guard is in town as Cardy, Dale, and Alex talk about some hot new video games that you can play with your fingers. Dead Island 2 is finally out after a decade of development. Was it worth the wait, though? Maybe you'll find out if you listen. The new Burning Shores DLC for Horizon Forbidden West is here as well as the remasters of Advance Wars 1 and 2. Dredge is also bangin'. Good times are had. Plus, Alex spends the best part of 20 minutes telling us about his Orlando holiday. It's all good stuff. Oh, and the Endless Search returns.

What's the wettest ever film? Cardy, Jen, and Mat are here to answer this and other pressing questions this week. Tears of the Kingdom looks good, doesn't it? Let's talk about that. So does Final Fantasy 16. Let's talk about that, too. Immortals of Aveum could be good. Evil Dead Rise has lots of blood in it. Beef (the meat) also has blood in it, but we're talking about the Netflix show which is very good and also has a little blood.
