Reviewed on PC and PlayStation.
"Playing Grand Theft Auto 2 again in 2026, I’ve definitely found myself with a stronger appreciation for its technical improvements over the original. Certainly much greater than I gave it credit for back as a teenager in 1999. The driving is better, the shooting is better – and those are important and welcome gains. However, I just cannot muster any true enthusiasm for its retro-futuristic setting. I don’t know that I’d go so far as to call it aggravating but, in the words of the king of rock and roll, it definitely ain’t satisfactioning me."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2026 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">09232325-aeeb-4216-9ff5-3d14e7423ec8</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/grand-theft-auto-2-the-legacy-review</link><media:content duration="1166" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Grand Theft Auto 2 legacy review by Luke Reilly.

"Like a Stone Age axe, Grand Theft Auto is hard, primitive, and – honestly – more than a little cumbersome. However, like said axe, it’s nonetheless a valuable artefact that maintains an effective edge to it. Fearless but flawed and endearing but unnecessarily difficult, the original Grand Theft Auto may be tricky to wholeheartedly recommend to anyone who didn’t previously play it during its moment back in the late ’90s, but I can’t deny how fascinating it’s been to re-experience its prehistoric brand of open-world freedom in the context of everything that’s come since.

The lackluster story mode, complete absence of some basic options like difficulty settings for the CPU, and lack of a guided tutorial to teach you how to actually play certainly make Avatar Legends hard to recommend to casual Avatar fans, but for fighting game fans looking for something with “the sauce,” Avatar Legends is about as saucy as it gets.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 22 Jul 2026 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">26863f58-7f6c-4ab5-8aa0-7b32caeceaf1</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/avatar-legends-the-fighting-game-video-review</link><media:content duration="632" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game reviewed by Mitchell Saltzman on PC, also coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 1 & 2The potential of Avatar Legends is immense. This is a gorgeous 2D fighting game that excels as both a throwback to the bygone era of sprite-based fighters and a faithful adaptation of the beloved cartoons it’s based on. It’s got some of the most satisfying movement of any 2D fighter I’ve played, combos routes that are challenging but immensely rewarding to learn, a 12 character roster that feels way bigger than it actually is thanks to the clever support system, and flexible combat that allows for a ton of creative expression. The lackluster story mode, complete absence of some basic options like difficulty settings for the CPU, and lack of a guided tutorial to teach you how to actually play certainly make Avatar Legends hard to recommend to casual Avatar fans, but for fighting game fans looking for something with “the sauce,” Avatar Legends is about as saucy as it gets.]]></media:description><media:thumbnail url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/07/20/avatar-legends-the-fighting-game-yt-02-1784586858954.jpg"/><media:keywords><![CDATA[Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, Action, Fighting, PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Avatar the Last Airbender, Nintendo Switch 2, Gameplay Group International, Gameplay Group International]]></media:keywords><media:title type="plain"><![CDATA[Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game Video Review]]></media:title><media:category label="Games">Games</media:category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender Is Great]]></title><description><![CDATA[Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is a lovingly crafted and gorgeously animated movie.
