Author: IGN & Geek Media February 2, 2026 Duration: 48:05
Welcome back to Is It Still Fun Today?, our show where we revisit classic games to see how they hold up. With Resident Evil Requiem approaching (and with IGN turning 30), we thought it would be a good time to replay the original Resident Evil from 1996. Learn more about your ad choices.

For years, Game Scoop! has been a weekly gathering for anyone who loves video games. Led by veteran industry host Daemon Hatfield and a rotating crew of knowledgeable voices from IGN & Geek Media, the conversation here feels like hanging out with friends who are just as passionate as you are. Each episode digs into the headlines that matter, from major studio announcements to the hidden gems you might have missed, offering analysis that goes beyond the basic facts. But this isn't just a news recap. The show regularly takes deep, nostalgic dives into gaming's rich history, celebrating the classics and discussing their lasting impact. A signature element is the trivia challenge, a segment designed to stump both the panel and the audience, turning game knowledge into a fun and communal competition. What you'll hear is a blend of expert insight, genuine enthusiasm, and the kind of lively debate that happens when true fans get together. Its longevity and reputation as a beloved staple in the leisure category are earned through consistent, engaging content. Tuning into this podcast means joining a long-running conversation that’s as much about the shared culture of gaming as it is about the latest releases, all delivered with a sense of humor and deep expertise.
