Warner PR boss Mark Ward makes an appearance on the latest One Life Left, which can be listened to online now.

Ward’s there to chat about Scribblenauts.

Give it a waz. The boys and girl done good at the GMAs. Give ‘em a hand.

The latest One Life Left episode‘s up, featuring Ste, Simon and Anne rabbiting on for an hour about games and stuff.

There’s some music in it as well. You know it makes sense.

The One Life Left chaps have posted up another show after a three-week break – and here it is.

Listen to it. The inconsiderate Americans had a public holiday yesterday, so there’s not much else going on.

The latest OneLifeLeft’s up now, featuring… me. Here me describe GamesCom as Tom Cruise in a flat spin heading out to sea. I have absolutely no idea why I said that. But I did.

We talk about news, VG247, GamesCom, Sony’s press conference, PS3 price cuts and other things.

Go on.

Eidos president Ian Livingstone’s confirmed that the Fighting Fantasy books, beginning with Warlock of Firetop Mountain, are to be released as iPhone and iPod Touch games beginning later this year.

“I’m happy to say, because of the advances in technology, there’s been recurring interest,” he said, talking of the paper gaming series in the latest OneLifeLeft episode.

“Not just from the book publishers… but from iApp people who are saying, ‘Why don’t you put these Fighting Fantasy game books onto an iApp.’

“And we thought, ‘Great idea.’”

Livingstone added: “Quite confident in saying that sometime later on this year there’ll be Fighting Fantasy adventures on [iPhone and iPod Touch].”

He also says they’ll play in the same way as the books, and that you’ll be able to shake your iThing to roll dice on the screen.

Listen from 26 minutes onward. They talk specifically about it at 28.30.

Fighting Fantasy was an iconic RPG book series that sold more than 16 million copies in 23 languages, mainly in the 80s.

The latest One Life Left’s out, this time featuring Capcom’s Leo Tan banging on about The Gathering, the company’s Monster Hunter “space” in London.

Simon, Ste and Ann also talk about games, as is their wont.

Have a listen.

Tuesdays are shit. Make yours better by listening to the latest One Life Left, in which Ann, Ste and Simon talk about games for a bit.

You really may as well. It’s fun, and everything.

The next episode of UK radio show One Life Left’s available now, the second part of “series five”.

Ste, Simon and Ann are pretty much hitting their stride with the new stuff. It’s genuinely great. Do them – and conversely, yourself – a favour.

One Life Left is back, with the first episode of season five debuting on London’s Resonance FM last night.

Hosts Ste Curran, Simon Byron and Ann Scantlebury chatted with writer Jon Blyth, their special guest.

“Series five is literally our best series ever,” said Byron. “In terms of the number after ‘series’. We’ve big plans for the show over the coming weeks, none of which we’ll action.”

You can get the podcast through iTunes or the official site.

Press release below.

This morning’s a bit blurry, so we’ll probably listen to the latest OLL later on. As ever, it’s people rambling about videogames. We haven’t heard it yet, but call it a hunch.

Here. Listen to people twitter on about games and related subjects. It’s live from 8pm this evening, and will be released as a podcast soon after. Listen to it and help Simon Byron out. God only knows he needs it.

Tom’s asked me to put a story up about this because he can’t put it on Eurogamer, for some reason. He’s appearing with Ellie (EG’s dep ed) tonight on One Life Left, which is broadcast on London radio at 104.4FM and then released as a podcast here. Despite what the website says, it goes out on Tuesdays, not Wednesdays. The show’s had guests such as Charles Cecil and John Hare previously.

Ellie’s now shitting herself, however, because Tom’s rushed off to attend a friend’s washing machine flood drama and suspects he may have bottled it, and no one seems to know what time the broadcast starts. Good luck with that, Ellie.
