The best podcast in the world that's called 'The GamesRadar UK Podcast' is here, and strong like a castle. Why? For many reasons. Firstly (and the reason we used the 'castle' parallel), we've got a special guest appearance from Matthew Castle of Nintendo Gamer. Matthew actually knows stuff about things, which makes this a very clued-up podcast with a Nintendoey slant. Secondly, Justin has recovered from his illness, meaning the Towell Joke Factory controls have been wrested back from Cundy's hands. There's a right cracker in there too - but only if you saw the football at the weekend. Which no-one else in the room had. Gits.

Click the 'Click to hear us now!' black banner below to begin your adventure. Oh, and when Towell says 'Monster Land IV', he actually means 'Monster World IV'. After finally learning it's Super Mario 3D Land on 3DS, his brain now applies that to everything.

The games we're giving away on the podcast this week are: Pandora's Tower and PokePark 2: Wonders Beyond, both for Nintendo Wii. Two actual new games that have some degree of quality to them. Fancy that! To be in with a chance of winning these awesome video games, listen out for the question at the start of the podcast and leave your answer in the comments on this very page. Best answer wins. Good luck.
