Alex, Jen, and Matt have collected their gongs for the second episode of the IGN UK alternative awards. This week it's all about games, and there's not a single one for Baldur's Gate 3 (although that didn't stop Matt from bringing it up). There's no regard here for the best gameplay or most impressive mechanics - instead tune in to learn what the year's best sound effect was, the game with the best use of bad graphics, and the open world that lasted longer than Alex's holiday in France.

IGN UK Podcast 748: Microwaved Bacon and Other Horrors

Cardy, Emma, and Mat are here to talk about a right ol' mixture of games, movies, and TV shows this week. We tell you why Another Crab's Treasure is seabed-based souls-like you should give a bash. How Challengers and Love Lies Bleeding are two of the sweatiest films you could wish to see. And there's even time to talk about some twenty-year-old TV shows in the shape of Dexter and The Wire. Oh, and some surprise musical treats...

IGN UK Podcast 746: Is Gravy on Fish Wrong?

Cardy, Mat, and Emma are here to share their picks for some of the best games you can finish in 5 hours or less this week. A mix of well-known indies and hidden gems, maybe you'll find something new to play this weekend. Before that, though, there's time for some more thoughts about Alex Garland's Civil War and flower-puzzle game Botany Manor. Plus, a nail-biter of an Endless Search.

IGN UK Podcast 745: Our Favourite 5 Hours or Less Games

Matt has been reviewing the Fallout TV show, and he’s so happy about how it's turned out that he could explode. Rather than going nuclear, he’s on this week’s IGN UK podcast to tell you all about how good it is. He’s joined by Emma, who’s played a little of Ubisoft’s surprise roguelike The Rogue Prince of Persia, and Mat J, who’s back from his pilgrimage to Wrestlemania. There’s also another round of the Endless Search, and your feedback.
