IGN UK Podcast

Cardy & Joe have both been reviewing games this week so gather round the podcast table for layers of critical thought. Link's Awakening has been remade for the Switch so Joe tells you why that's a banger and Cardy has done FIFA again so explains what's up with the footballs this year. Borderlands 3 also gets its fair share of debate time. Meanwhile, Dale is convinced that new Netflix show "The I-Land" has ripped him off and is out to prove it. Joe's got a list-based quiz for the Endless Search as well as plenty of time for your feedback. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tokyo Game Show is happening right now, bringing big revelations about some of Japan's biggest games. So you know what that means: long chats about what the hell is going on in Death Stranding. Joe, Cardy and Matt discuss Kojima's latest revelations, and it looks like we finally know what you do in the game. There's more than Thermos babies to discuss, though. We've been playing a duo of delights in Gears 5 and Catherine: Full Body, plus the slightly less delightful Daemon X Machina. And in film chat, we discuss Brad Pitt's journey to the far side of the galaxy in the serene and existential Ad Astra. And, as ever, there's another thrilling edition of The Endless Search.

Matt has seen IT Chapter Two and not only does tell us his feelings, but he also shares his interview he did with the film's director, Andy Muschietti. But that's not the only scaries we have this week. In what feels like an early halloween, we have three spooky games to bang on about. Dale has played Blair Witch and has a lot of thoughts about the game and the history of the series. Jesse talks about finishing Man of Medan three times and Dale has also tried out the latest PS4 FMV game, Erica. We also have a detour chat about the Star Wars prequels. And of course, there's this week edition of The Endless Search. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you aren't from the UK, you might not be aware that we aren't getting Disney+ along with the rest of the world. We have some stuff to say about that. Once we've gone through the stages of grief, we have time to talk about The Mandalorian, new Disney and Star Wars series, and Control. We even squeezed in a chat with Brian Froud, the genius behind the many, many designs of creatures in The Dark Crystal, and its new Netflix Prequel, Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance. Thanks Brian!

Look, Gamescom was very busy, so we recorded the special when we got back. Inauthentic? Yes. Tired? Also yes. But we are at least comprehensive. That's why you get big hunky chunks of Death Stranding, Disintegration, Marvel's Avengers, The Endless Cylinder and more. Also, Joe turned Farming Simulator into an actual game! (Sorry, Germany).

16 Podcasters, 300 audience members, 1 live band and 500 episodes. This is the IGN UK Podcast's 500th episode live spectacular! We roped in a whole host of voices from past and present to join us live at London's famous 100 Club. With four panels of four, we talked about our favourite memories from the last ten years of podcasts. We also had not one, but three of our favourite Endless Search games with the amazing Code:Marla doing a live performance of jingle (yes, they did it 3 times!). A great time was had by all, but mostly by us! Thank you so much to all the amazing people who traveled so far and helped make this event so special. Here's to another 500 episodes!

Cardy and Matt have been lucky enough to see Quentin Tarantino's 9th/10th (depending on who you ask) film, Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. They possess different views on the film, sparking MUCH chat. Joe's been spending more time playing hard Japanese games so here is to tell us all about Fire Emblem: Three Houses and the upcoming Monster Hunter: World expansion, Iceborne. We also break down Amazon's The Boys and pay a brief visit to Fast and Furious spin-off, Hobbs and Shaw.

Dale, Matt, and Jesse have gone back to the 80s for a no-spoilers chat about Stranger Things season 3.

This week Joe, Dale, and Matt are here to talk all about their latest slo-mo obsession: My Friend Pedro. Also joining in for a little bit of a chat is My Friend Pedro's developer, Victor Agren, better known as DeadToast. He knows a thing or two about good grenade launcher sounds, so you'll want to listen in for that. As well as good video game chat we've got bad film chat, too, as the guys have seen a few dreadful movies recently that need dissecting. And to finish it all off, there's a tense game of the Endless Search that'll (probably not) go down in history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Joe, Dale and Cardy had just watched the new Lonely Island visual poem just before this podcast and, honestly, you should probably do the same. Once we stopped being excited about that, we had a talk through Confirmed Very Good Games, Observation and Heaven's Vault, and then our own Good Game, Go On Name Them. Oh, and in our last big spoilery discussion of Game of Thrones, we look back at our predictions for the series. We're no Three-Eyed Raven, let's put it that way.

Once we finally tear ourselves away from that little chat, we've got lots to say about Days Gone ("Days Long"), Mortal Kombat 11 ("generous") and Katana Zero (f**king wicked).
