We have another guest this week as moustachioed Californian Zach Ryan joins Joe and Cardy to talk all about how they've been keeping themselves busy during lockdown. There's Animal Crossing news to address, more Final Fantasy 7 Remake impressions, and an inordinate amount of basketball chat. All of that, plus a tease of an exciting upcoming collaboration happening next week, if you happen to be a fan of whenever we talk about football. We also reveal the winners of our Murder by Numbers giveaway and get to your all important pieces of food mashup feedback.

This week a wise spectre from our past returns to tell us all about their time with Call of Duty: Warzone and Korean cooking. Joining them is Matt who's been playing some Valorant, Cardy who's been playing with Echo, Overwatch's latest hero, and Joe who's also been trying to destroy a monster in a mountain via the medium of pinball action. We also go through our pitches for what we'd like GTA 6 to be and talk excessively about food. There's another tightly contested Endless Search and a big bunch of feedback to boot.

Both Dale and Matt have finished Final Fantasy 7 Remake, so who better to tell you all about it? Joe has been knee-deep in Cooking Mama conspiracy theories which he needs to offload, and Cardy has been playing more Persona 5 Royal and watching football stuff. Some things never change. There's also a selection of differing opinions about the PS5's DualSense controller and a nice little bit of general next-gen chat as well. There's a 3-way Endless Search that goes down to the wire, along with all your lovely feedback as well.

Isolation week 3. Dale and Jesse have finished Resident Evil 3 multiple times and have some (mixed) thoughts. The whole crew have played a bunch of Predator: Hunting Grounds and it turns out: if it bleeds, you can kill it. Cardy is also back with an Animal Crossing update and Dale has no idea what he's talking about. There's also a listener Endless Search and a lot of general chit chat bollocks.

Isolation week 2. Matt and Jesse have been escaping the limits of their four walls by emerging themselves in the world of Half-Life Alyx. Meanwhile, Cardy has finally ventured down the shed at the end of his garden. There's Animal Crossing updates plus the TV that we've been filling a lot of our time with. There's a monstrous Endless Search affair and too much Barney the Dinosaur chat.  Remember, if you want to get in touch with the podcast, please do: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Nothing will stop us. We are here for your ears as Cardy, Joe, Matt and sporadic sprinklings of Dale talk through all the big games news and releases this week. We've got the first PS5 details, Xbox's teraflops, Doom Eternal's Marauder, Animal Crossing's fruit and so much more. Another Excel fuelled The Endless Search excites us all this week and of course, there's feedback.

E3 is cancelled, which is shit. Cardy, Matt and Jesse discuss what the backup plan is for all those game companies out there before going in deep on the new Call of Duty: Warzone modes and our (brief) experiences with both Battle Royale and Plunder so far. There isn't really a lot of other fun stuff happening this week so instead dedicate a large portion of this week to listener feedback and return to some nostalgic PS2 chat and dreams video game concepts. Jesse has finally stepped up to host a game of The Endless Search. Good lad. I didn't really know what music to put at the end this week, so enjoy some of The Beatles. Stay safe out there x - Simon.

Are you ready? Are you ready for love? Matt is. He's also very excited to play Final Fantasy 7 Remake after having a bash on 3 hours of it. Joe has the unenviable task of trying to describe exciting new shooter Quantum League, and Cardy has been battering people with carrots and fish in Bloodroots. We also forward to the future of PlayStation by casting our Last of Us TV show leads, as well as reminiscing about our favourite PS2 games following the console's 20th birthday. As if this bumper edition wasn't enough, we've got a brand new Endless Search game plus a healthy dose of feedback to read out.

The Firm™ are back for last one rodeo. Dale delves deep into the life and times of Anointed Mason-Smith. Joe has been finding life hard since his move from Madrid to Rochdale. And Cardy sets the sun on his time on Tyneside. It's goodbye for now, but you never know when The Firm™ will strike next (in the summer probably). Learn more about your ad choices.

Shockingly Alex has returned again, despite promising a 3 month hiatus recently. He's joined by Dale, who talks Resident Evil 3 and has Siege tales from San Francisco. Mr Matt Purslow rounds off the threesome and he is BIG into everything Baldur's Gate 3 and Hunt: Showdown. Also, not only is The Endless Search back, but so is The Perpetual Pursuit. The extra twist is Alex is hosting his first ever Endless Search game on the podcast! Guess he had to pull his finger out at some point... Learn more about your ad choices.
