“What a podcast! No matter what system(s) you own, what games you play (or "game" if you're also a Three Red Lights listener), or if you have absolutely no interest in games, you'll appreciate Game Scoop!
Produced, edited, and hosted by Daemon Hatfield, Scoop! covers gaming news on all major platforms (Nintendo's Wii and DS, Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PS3 and PSP, and even a little PC) with commentary from a number of editors writing on IGN's different channels. The group discusses and debates happenings in the industry from game delays, to recently reviewed titles, to studio mergers and what it means for us gamers (and them; they're gamers too).
While there are a number of regulars who offer their thoughts (cranky Craig Harris and Greg Miller, who's hilarious and LOUD), Daemon makes the show so inclusive, you'll feel like you're sitting at the table with him. He's funny without trying, humble, and he'll make you question what you have to be down about. Before a subject starts spinning its wheels, you'll appreciate his meticulous editing that splices in music or in-game audio relevant to the next topic, resulting in a smooth transition and concise final product. This is how podcasts should be and while I haven't heard all the podcasts in the world, I doubt I'll find one to top it.
Keep it up guys! My only complaint is that this deserves to be a video podcast. Do that, and I'll give it six stars; don't ask how. :D”Read full review »

“The IGN podcasts were once great. Now, they are filled with no decent news updates, no site news or even forum discussion. Instead, IGN staff feel it more appropriate to discuss their weekend habbits, memories of freshman days, and the latest, relationship advice? IGN now seeks to offend and...”Read full review »
