Matt, Joe, and Emma come together this week to discuss two of the biggest games of the moment: Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Dying Light 2. But we don't just do games on this podcast, oh no, so there's also talk of two new Netflix hits - Archive 81 and Murderville - as well as the latest stabathon from the Scream series.

Feel free to send us an email at ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

Joe, Cardy, and Dale assembled this week to discuss only the biggest topics: Star Wars games, The Rock's next video game movie, their feelings on Yellowjackets, and the continuing saga of the things people chew on that doctors and dentists would likely warn against.

Cardy, Joe, and Matt unite to discuss this week in video games, because actual video games have happened. There's chat about the ridiculously entertaining Windjammers 2, and we perform an alien autopsy on the weirdest Tom Clancy game of all time, Rainbow Six Extraction. Plus, thoughts on spooky PvP game Midnight Ghost Hunt, Oscar Isaac's accent in Moon Knight, and an absolute truck full of feedback.

Cardy, Joe, and Matt are here to pitch their big predictions for upcoming video game sequels. Where will GTA 6 be set? Who will we play as in Spider-Man 2? Will Joe ever play a new Kessen game? All of these questions will be answered, as well as bigger issues such as which snack is the king of the lunchbox. Want to get in touch? Feel free to send us an email at ign_ukfeedback@ign.com. 

Cardy, Joe, and Dale are here to run through the five best things they each did over the Christmas break. We've got superheroes, detectives, murders, and metaverses among many other topics. The Endless Search also makes its glorious return as well as a borderline heated debate about what the best British crisp is. Want to get in touch? Why not let us know what the best Christmas present you received this year was. Feel free to sling us an email at ign_ukfeedback@ign.com. 

On the eve of a new year, it's time to look ahead. Join Cardy, Alex, and Jesse as they go through all of the big games, films, and TV shows coming in 2022. There's a lot to be excited about so settle in. Why not let us know what you're looking forward to the most? Feel free to sling us an email at ign_ukfeedback@ign.com. 

We've done the games awards, so it's only rigt that we cover movies and TV as well, right? Simon, Joe, and Matt convened this week to invent never-to-be-repeated categories that allow them to talk about their favourite shows and films from the last 12 months – as well as one movie that Joe simply never wants to think about again. If you've got any alternative awards of your own, feel free to sling us an email at ign_ukfeedback@ign.com. Merry Christmas!

What was undoubtedly one of our most anticipated movies of the year ended up being one of the biggest disappointments we could imagine, and we couldn't resist spending half an hour talking about why. Joe and Cardy convened to talk in-depth about what doesn't work in the bizarre new sequel – but be warned, there are full spoilers inside, so make sure you're watched the movie before diving in.

As 2021 draws to a close, it's time for the UK podcast team to celebrate the very best games released this year. So welcome to the IGN UK Podcast Alternative Game Awards 2021! They're a bit like IGN's proper awards, but, y'know, different.

It's gaming Christmas, aka The Game Awards, in which dozens of adverts for upcoming video games arrive at Geoff Keighley's awards ceremony. Cardy stayed up all night to watch them because he's mad, and so he joins Alex and Matt on this week's IGN UK podcast to talk about all the highlights. (Alex and Matt watched the trailers this morning like normal people). In addition to discussing the likes of Star Wars: Eclipse, Alan Wake 2, Sommerville, Arc Raiders, Space Marine 2, and Suicide Squad, this week's podcast also covers the big topic of the week: Halo Infinite's campaign. Has 343 Industries finally made a campaign that lives up to the best of Bungie, or does the open world design just not suit Master Chief? We've got plenty of thoughts. Plus, to make this episode extra special, we've got an interview with one of the finest directors in history: Mr. Steven Spielberg. As ever, there's another edition of the Endless Search (this time it's Halo flavoured) and we respond to your feedback about replaying game

I hope you like films, because there's a lot of talk about them this week. Cardy has watched two brilliant, but diametrically opposite films in the form of Steven Spielberg's West Side Story and Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog. Dale expresses his love for The Beatles: Get Back, plus Emma is getting in the Christmas spirit with Home Sweet Home Alone. As ever, there's also another edition of the Endless Search, and we respond to your feedback. Want to submit your own Endless Search, food opinion, or a bit of other nonsense?

Matt, Jesse, and Cardy are back to discuss the latest entries in the Pokemon and Battlefield series, and how they improve (or don't) upon their long, storied legacies. There's also chat about Ruined King, the first RPG set in the League of Legends universe, as well as this week's big entertainment drops, Marvel's Hawkeye and Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City. As ever, there's also another edition of the Endless Search, and we respond to your feedback. Want to submit your own Endless Search, food opinion, or a bit of other nonsense?

Microsoft surprised us all with the launch of Halo Infinite's multiplayer this week, and Cardy, Jesse, and Matt have been getting into the Spartan groove by spanking as many people as possible. But not content with just giving opinions on the likes of Slayer and Capture the Flag, we've also got thoughts on the Halo Infinite campaign, which Matt has played the first chunk of. Beyond Halo chat, we've also got a few bones to pick with the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy, which hasn't exactly revitalised our nostalgia for the PS2-era of GTA. Balancing that out, we've got chat about Ghostbusters: Afterlife and the new Radiohead Kid A Mnesia Exhibition, a strange musical museum on PC and PS5.

It's the 15th anniversary of the launch of both the PS3 and Wii, so let's delve into that back catalogue to talk about some of the games that just don't get talked about enough. Cardy, Joe and Matt are here to do that, as well as unpack Unpacking, delve into Forza Horizon 5 a little more, and chat about a few things they've been watching including Arcane, The French Dispatch, and Dexter: New Blood. There's so much to cover that sadly there's just no time for an Endless Search this week. Many apologies. Want to submit your own Endless Search, food opinion, or a bit of other nonsense?

Cardy reviewed Call of Duty: Vanguard's campaign so tells you all about its hits and misses. Matt and Dale join him to wax lyrical about the pure joy of Forza Horizon 5 and where the fun can be found in Riders Republic once you've broken through the wall of shack daddies and their triple shroom burgers. Matt also gives his verdict on Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho before a Mass Effect Endless Search quiz. Stay tuned until for some spoiler-filled Guardians of the Galaxy chat too Want to submit your own Endless Search, food opinion, or a bit of other nonsense?

Surprise! Guardians of the Galaxy is actually a very good video game. Let Cardy, Matt and Jesse tell you why, as well as how much fun Resident 4 VR is. The announcement of the remastered GTA Trilogy has summoned a pang of nostalgia in the air as memories of GTA 3, Vice City and San Andreas flood back. There's also papable excitement for Toy Story spin-off, Lightyear. Want to submit your own Endless Search, food opinion, or a bit of other nonsense?

Cardy, Matt and Joe are here to recap all the headlines from DC Fandome as well as give their first impressions of the Uncharted movie. Joe tells you why you should be playing Inscryption, Matt vents his disappointment at Halloween Kills, and Cardy is still wondering why he watched all of You Season 3. There's also an interview with Dune director Denis Villeneuve this week where of course he's asked if he's seen The Prestige.

We're very sorry, we truly are, because two thirds through this week's podcast Alex and Jesse make the biggest mess of the Endless Starch. Honestly, it's embarrassing. Thankfully, there's plenty of other good stuff to fill you ears with, from the latest info on Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, Ted Lasso season 2 thoughts and The Definitive Review of Far Cry 6.

Lots of games are coming out so why don't we talk about them? Dale has played Far Cry 6 so tells us all about his adventures in Yara, Emma has finished Metroid Dread and lets you know why you should play it too, plus Cardy can't believe quite how good Hot Wheels Unleashed is and just how bad eFootball 2022 is.
