Listen now...


Good afternoon and welcome to a brand new episode of TalkRadar UK - the gaming podcast that promises not to mug you off.

This week's episode is brought to you by the esteemed trio of Nathan Irvine, Matt Cundy and Justin Towell... with the addition of GR freelancer Ben Griffin. Ben's in the UK office this week as coffee monkey, experiencing the 'hard work' we do first-hand.

So what can you expect from this week's show? All of the following and more...

NEWS! - Justin's ecstatic because Sega AM2 legend Yu Suzuki has gone on-record to say he still wants to make Shenmue III. Erm, you know that doesn't mean he's actually going to, right? And Matt talks about lies on the boxes of the games he's been playing. Hey, we never said it had to be news about the industry...

QUESTION OF THE WEEK! - The team provide cover as you answer the burning question... What has been your favourite videogame war to fight in and why?

WHAT WE'VE BEEN PLAYING! - Justin masters corners in the original Need for Speed Shift, Nathan plays 'games for girls' and Matt tells us of his trip to Fiddlers Beach in Kinectimals. Then Ben causes a stir by proclaiming PES to be better than FIFA. Whoa there...

PLUS LOADS OF OTHER STUFF!!1! Although the appreciation section is missing because it's coming back BETTER next week. Yup, watch this space...

Bonus content

We've got another GamesRadar Minigame Challenge for you to enjoy, this time involving the fellas stuffing as many games down their T-shirts as possible in 30 seconds.

Justin was on holiday last week, and wanted to show you the affinity every games journalist has with nature. Oh, and that those scarf and gloves from Atari Live a couple of years ago are still going strong:
