We're back! Told you so. And there you were thinking we had run away. Well, Cundy returned from holiday and I am back from Gamescom in Cologne, Germany where I saw loads of things. You'd think I'd be able to get a word in edgeways this time, wouldn't you? Yeah, I thought that too... never mind, this is one hell of a tight podcast this time round thanks to having to work to a schedule. Streamlined. Sensual. Oooh.

Besides the Gamescom anecdotes, there's another cracking (pun intended, folks) Towell Joke Factory, a return outing for Houghton Agrees (mmm, yes, uh-huh, etc) and some rather exciting news about GRID 2. Well, exciting for me, at least.

But rather than sit there reading about the latest episode of the GamesRadar UK Podcast, you can hear it for yourself! Click the 'Click to hear us now!' banner below and get listening.
