It's gaming Christmas, aka The Game Awards, in which dozens of adverts for upcoming video games arrive at Geoff Keighley's awards ceremony.

All rounded off by the show-stopping God of War shaped dessert followed by a mad rush to actually pre-order a console.

We received literally dozens of emails about the funnier side of not being able to breathe underwater, and we're reading our favourites. What a time to be alive. But before that, we fulfil our contractual remit to talk about entertainment by discussing the incredible Flight Simulator, and the mind-bamboozling Superliminal.

This week on the IGN UK Podcast, Dale and Matt get very hype about all their nostalgic memories being made anew thanks to a brand new Final Fantasy 7 Remake trailer. We talk how to pronounce Jenova, Red XIII's voice, the gloom of the Shinra building... everything you could think of, aside from Cloud's cross dressing, which we somehow overlooked. That's why he's in the thumbnail for this episode: he may not get a mention, but he's certainly not forgotten. Jesse's on the show too, and has been playing the Disintegration beta with some of the other IGN guys. There's mixed thoughts a-plenty on that one, but with a sprinkling of hope. There's also some discussion about Warcraft 3 Reforged, the remaster of the classic 2002 Blizzard RTS that's both a fantastic visit to the past and a failure to meet a lofty promise. As ever, there's also a cool listener-submitted game and our responses to your feedback. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This time on our Football Manager spin-off, Cardy is, somehow, on the most familiar ground. His mogul-backed Magpies are on the march, while Dale ups sticks for LA to begin the reign of the Cancun Corona Colts, and Joe embarks on the most terrifying FM journey of all - unemployment.

Cardy, Matt and Joe are in town and ready to talk about the new release dates for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Marvel's Avengers and Cyberpunk 2077. You'll have to wait a bit for those, but luckily Joe has a recommendation of what you can do with your time this week in the shape of Uncut Gems. He also took control of an android's mouth in Speaking Simulator with Cardy which is exactly as odd as it sounds.

As you might expect, we're all at home for Christmas right now, which means we're probably seasons and seasons into our Football Manager careers. Unfortunately it also means we can't meet to talk about it this time, so we've pre-recorded a very silly special where the three of us play a full Fantasy Draft league in the full-fat version of the game. Included is the entire thing, for better or worse. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

There's frankly too many video games and films coming out next year, but Cardy, Matt and Dale have done their best to cover all of them. Sorry if we missed any, but I feel like we talked enough.

IGN does lots of Game the Year Award categories, but we just can't cover everything. That's where IGN UK comes in, to dish out awards for the stuff no one else will. Like the game that makes kids call you lame on the tube, or the game that makes you feel smarter than you ever actually will be, or the game that work made us frightened of.

There's new Bond and Black Widow trailers to dissect, plus Matt has seen 1917 and tells us why its an absolute banger. Joe got the chance to speak with Joker director Todd Phillips which inspired us to come up with our own pitches for DC movies, the directors we'd like to see make them and why Shaun Williamson aka Barry from Eastenders should play every role in the DC universe.

Look, Disney owns everything now. It more than likely owns one of us on the show and we just don't know about it - Dale, probably, he's the most marketable. We can't do anything about that, so here's a podcast where talk about some of its High Quality Star Wars Products in great detail. On top of that, we've got a Star Wars-themed Endless Search, a bit of Star Wars-themed feedback and, er, someone who doesn't like the idea of our Football Manager spin-off. Fair enough, really.

Some of us here at the IGN UK office spend more time than is healthy - both professionally and medically - talking about Football Manager. That's why we've finally given into our desires and created a spin-off podcast all about the newest game in the series, Football Manager 2020. Welcome to It's Football Day, our twice-monthly show all about the greatest spreadsheets on this sweet Earth of ours. It's also a tiny bit about Charlie Hunnam's accent in Green Street. Join Cardy, Joe and Dale as we introduce our teams, our objectives, our first signings, and possibly even our FUTURE DESTINY. Fair warning: if you don't like football, or Football Manager, this might be completely impenetrable (but it might make an amazing sleep aid).

Cardy's been playing that new Pokemon Sword and Shield game so talks about that for a bit, plus the trailer showdown of the century is here as Sonic the Hedgehog takes on Scooby-Doo.

Could it be real? Could there really be another good Terminator film in the world? It seems so, and that's one of the plethora of topics on the table in this week's IGN UK Podcast. Matt's seen it, and he's got a few thoughts on why - for better and for worse - it's the best one since T2. Not only that, but we've got an interview with stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton on the show, too. Before all that, though, there's more to discuss. Star Wars! The Outer Worlds! Watchmen! Big hefty topics that require big old hefty chats. And that's exactly what Matt, Cardy, and Joe have for you in episode 510.

But will he get to the gooey centre before Cardy takes it for himself? You'll have to listen to the whole 'cast to find out. Thankfully that shouldn't be too much of an arduous task, as there's plenty to discuss. Matt's been to EGX to play Marvel's Avengers, including hands-on time with a new character; the super-stretchy Ms. Marvel. Dale's also been previewing games this week, with thoughts on Need for Speed Heat and WWE 2K20.

Then you're in the right place for hugely enthusiastic, incredible weird chat about this massive, strange detective RPG. If RPGs where you get into arguments with your neck tie aren't your thing, then there's also plenty of discussion about the two big co-op shooters of the moment - Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and Ghost Recon: Breakpoint - and Joe's been putting Nintendo's new fitness gizmo Ring Fit to the test.

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.

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!
