Also available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S, and PC.
"Star Wars: Galactic Racer is a fabulous looking and frantically fast anti-grav racer that impressively goes further than just taking the decades-old Star Wars Racer games and giving them a 4K facelift. With a range of satisfyingly customisable vehicle classes beyond podracers, a world outside the racing you can soak in and explore in third-person, and an interesting roguelite-adjacent structure that injects a considerable degree of risk into the action, Galactic Racer is a fresh and accomplished blend of Lucas lore with the destructive spirit of arcade racing icons like Burnout and MotorStorm. Its run-based campaign can grow unavoidably tedious over long stints because of its heavy reliance on repeatedly revisiting the same slim selection of planets, and its lack of splitscreen is disappointing considering its roots run back to consoles regarded as the kings of same-couch chaos. But Galactic Racer is an otherwise confident debut from developer Fuse Games, and one that has successfully lit the afterburners on a long-dormant slice of the Star Wars universe."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 2 Oct 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41e4cb37-2bbc-4157-b052-02f380151cb8</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/star-wars-galactic-racer-video-review</link><media:content duration="797" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Star Wars: Galactic Racer reviewed by Luke Reilly on Xbox Series X.

Reviewed on PlayStation 2.
"Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the single bestselling game on the most successful console in the history of the business. That’s not an accolade you can just earn by accident. Its unprecedented scope and astonishing depth were nothing short of witchcraft, and the incredible attention to detail was staggeringly impressive for something of its size. Its ability to support endless experimentation kept my friends and I busy for years, fooling around with its industry-leading list of cheats and its same-screen co-op chaos long after we’d all finished the story mode several times. Its soundtrack is the stuff of legend; so one-of-a-kind that not even Rockstar itself could quite reassemble the complete thing for subsequent re-releases. In 2004, GTA San Andreas was one of the most extraordinary games I’d ever played. In 2026, the hood done took me under all over again. Sure, the technical limitations of the mid 2000s are always obvious through a modern lens, but you can’t measure ambition in polygons – and GTA San Andreas is overflowing with it."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2026 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">e2b092c6-de08-4600-b329-285a71e91c41</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/grand-theft-auto-san-andreas-the-legacy-review</link><media:content duration="1470" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas legacy review by Luke Reilly.

Sure, the technical limitations of the mid 2000s are always obvious through a modern lens, but you can’t measure ambition in polygons – and GTA San Andreas is overflowing with it."]]></media:description><media:thumbnail url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/09/25/gta-sa-legacy-review-yt-thumb-1790328258100.png"/><media:keywords><![CDATA[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Action, Adventure, iPhone, Number Of Players, Memory Card, Custom Soundtrack, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Vibration, DualShock, Stereo Surround, Memory Blocks, Dolby Pro Logic II, 16:9, 480p, Local - Co-Op # of Players, Macintosh, Dolby Digital 5.1, Xbox, Android, Windows Phone, EAX, Rockstar North, Rockstar Games, Amazon Fire TV, GTA - Grand Theft Auto]]></media:keywords><media:title type="plain"><![CDATA[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Legacy Review]]></media:title><media:category label="Games">Games</media:category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Primetime is AMAZING]]></title><description><![CDATA[Primetime starring Robert Pattinson captures a pivotal moment in reality TV history and centers it around an all-time performance from its lead star.]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 25 Sep 2026 01:28:06 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6ad60793-3acf-442e-ad35-3bf3c90b53f6</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/primetime-is-amazing</link><media:content duration="54" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Primetime starring Robert Pattinson captures a pivotal moment in reality TV history and centers it around an all-time performance from its lead star.]]></media:description><media:thumbnail url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/09/25/5be46cdb-13c3-4ad5-a1a4-9402cc230df6-1790299680414.jpg"/><media:keywords><![CDATA[Primetime, Theater, Drama, Action, Crime, A24, A24, Square Peg, Range Media Partners, Icki Eneo Arlo]]></media:keywords><media:title type="plain"><![CDATA[Primetime is AMAZING]]></media:title><media:category label="Entertainment">Entertainment</media:category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Warcraft 3 Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom Video Review]]></title><description><![CDATA[Warcraft 3 Reforged: Forsaken Kingdom reviewed by Len Hafer on PC."It's been a long wait for any new single-player RTS stories in the Warcraft universe.

"Off the back of the more action-oriented sidestep of 2025’s Silent Hill f, Silent Hill: Townfall feels like Konami’s seminal survival horror series returning to what it does best. Its atmosphere is oppressively ominous, its central mystery is genuinely compelling to unravel and packed with themes that feel fresh, and its army of disfigured demons are exhilarating to both encounter and evade. The CRTV device that spots enemies hidden in your surroundings might slightly diminish the story’s ability to deliver major scares early on, but when Townfall eventually got me, it made sure it got me good. It also has some of the most cleverly designed and challenging puzzles I’ve experienced in any horror game in recent memory, many involving impeccable recreations of technology from yesteryear that really transported me back to its mid-nineties setting.

"It’s fair to say that taking the miniaturised motoring mayhem that Milestone established in its Hot Wheels Unleashed games and reinventing it in an open-world format sounds like a slam dunk on paper. Hot Wheels Infinite Rush’s racing does remain robust and approachable, with difficulty levels tuned for both total beginners and arcade racing experts. There’s also a generous amount of activities to complete if you’re so inclined, and a huge pile of Hot Wheels models to collect – all of which look as fabulously photo-realistic as ever. It’s continued embrace of powerful customisation tools that allow us to create our own bonkers tracks and cool, one-off cars is also great; it adds a lot of lasting value and it’s reverent to the DNA of this whole hobby. Unfortunately, Infinite Rush is now missing most of its charm and character following the transition to an open world, and it’s easily the least compelling Hot Wheels game out of Milestone to date. With unmemorable pre-built tracks and bland maps that completely lack the sense of scale we get in the life-sized, real-world environments of the Unleashed games, Hot Wheels Infinite Rush has sadly lost a ton of its toy-like personality – and that just can’t be fixed with a large plastic gorilla or octopus."]]></description><pubDate>Thu, 17 Sep 2026 09:00:34 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d09d80f9-08c9-4574-94a4-1d7f91bf6246</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/hot-wheels-infinite-rush-video-review</link><media:content duration="702" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Hot Wheels Infinite Rush reviewed by Luke Reilly on PC.

Despite a temporary lull in its penultimate act, that doesn’t stop 2nd Chapter from being a quintessential Trails game and RPG in its own right."]]></media:description><media:thumbnail url="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/09/15/trailsinthesky2ndchapter-blogroll-1789514222969.jpg"/><media:keywords><![CDATA[Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter, Action, Adventure, RPG, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, The Legend of Heroes, Nintendo Switch 2, Trails, Nihon Falcom Corporation, Nihon Falcom Corporation, GungHo Online Entertainment America, Inc., Clouded Leopard Entertainment Inc.]]></media:keywords><media:title type="plain"><![CDATA[Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Video Review]]></media:title><media:category label="Games">Games</media:category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gallipoli Video Review]]></title><description><![CDATA[Gallipoli reviewed by Seth Macy on PC."Gallipoli is the most beautiful game in the WW1 series yet, with excellent maps, fun new classes, and a continued focus on teamwork in order to win.

"To this day, the opening moments of GTA: Vice City remain one of my most memorable gaming experiences ever. After getting into your first car, you’ll immediately hear the unmistakable bass line of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean. It’s a small but meaningful moment that instantly plunges you into the past and feels like a happy accident, but it wasn’t – it was engineered to always be Billie Jean. Everyone heard it. Or, at least, they did until later re-issues and remasters of the game unfortunately trimmed it from the soundtrack. Either way, I was completely enchanted by Vice City from that moment. In 2026? I still can’t get enough of it. With its wide variety of vehicles, weapons, and missions, its stacked cast of recognisable voices, and its unmatched atmosphere, Vice City may have gone backwards in time – but it was a huge stride forward for the series and one of my all-time favourites."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 11 Sep 2026 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8e67ecd1-018e-4c1c-946c-acfbd9af1dc6</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/grand-theft-auto-vice-city-the-legacy-review</link><media:content duration="1435" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Legacy Review by Luke Reilly.

Whether I'm fighting for my life, plundering forgotten barrows, or just watching the sun play across the water in a calm moment of respite, Valheim has created a world I'm consistently joyful to live in and discover. Its gorgeous art style, deadly bosses and dungeons, charming homesteading mechanics, and breathtaking scope each play a few notes of a melody that gets my blood pumping to explore the raging sea, defeat the greatest beasts, and share a piping hot meal with my sisters and brothers in the shield wall. The journey Minecraft started me on back in 2010 culminated in Valheim. This is the oath of the ultimate survival crafting adventure fulfilled and carved into the very bones of the Earth.

Even if I hadn’t intentionally made things harder for myself, though, I still would have loved spending time with the charismatic denizens of this world, all of whom are as well acted as they are animated. I still would have thought that Musashi himself was one of the coolest, most interesting protagonists in any video game, and I would have loved going on this journey with him. I still would have savored the creative fights against dozens of impressive bosses. My journey reflected Musashi's, and Onimusha made that possible. The best part of life is the challenge. You have to learn to love the fight."]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b8937654-bbf5-4a06-ab4e-d0b18d8e79cf</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-video-review</link><media:content duration="755" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Onimusha: Way of the Sword reviewed by Will Borger on PS5, also available on Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and Switch 2."It’s a testament to Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s combat that I could beat it without using some of the systems designed to help you progress – not because you don’t need them, but because it leaves room for you to truly understand its action and overcome their absence through sheer determination.

The day/night cycle that has you juggling human and vampiric forms is awesome, and the constraints placed on how you spend your limited time ends up being one of the coolest, most wonderfully stressful parts of the adventure. Combat has a bit of a learning curve to it, but gets under your skin in all the right ways once you get the hang of it. Combine that with a story filled with memorable characters, gut wrenching decisions, and more endings than I’m ever likely to see, and this adventure kept me firmly in its thrall. Even if you aren’t particularly into the vampire fantasy, this is one that any RPG fan should absolutely not miss."]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 15:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">317a0de4-5f67-4d92-87a0-78d222cc33c7</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/the-blood-of-dawnwalker-video-review</link><media:content duration="783" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[The Blood of Dawnwalker reviewed by Travis Northup on PlayStation 5, also available on PC and Xbox Series X/S."The Blood of Dawnwalker is my new favorite vampire game and one of the best story-driven RPGs I’ve played in a long time.

Reviewed on PlayStation 2. "Grand Theft Auto III, in its original form, is a frustrating and regularly cumbersome game to play in 2026. Its unforgiving need to manually return to mission markers and start from scratch encourages a very careful and conservative sort of playstyle that clashes with the chaotic level of freedom its world and systems otherwise encourage. On top of this, its shooting is admittedly fussy and frustrating, and its cast of shallow and simplistic characters are amongst the least memorable of the series. Within that initial salvo of 3D GTA games, Vice City oozed dramatically more style and swagger, and San Andreas offered astonishingly increased size and scope. However, neither of these legendary games can lay claim to being GTA III – just improved versions of it.It occupies a unique place in the series' storied history. While it didn’t pioneer every part of the modern formula for open-world games, it brought driving, action, story, and exploration together in a radically new way. It didn’t just change the trajectory of the GTA series forever – it changed the business. There are few games that can claim to be as innovative as GTA III, and fewer still as permanently trendsetting. GTA III didn’t just show us what an open world game was. It showed us what an open world game could be."]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 28 Aug 2026 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">55d6583b-0804-48f8-917d-f530146566cb</guid><link>https://www.ign.com/videos/grand-theft-auto-iii-the-legacy-review</link><media:content duration="1339" isDefault="true" medium="video"/><media:description type="plain"><![CDATA[Grand Theft Auto III legacy review by Luke Reilly.
