Keiran’s Top Books of 2024

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 18:00:33 +0000

If I’m honest, I’ve been a bit “lazy” this year, managing only to find 6 notable reads that I was able to really say anything on. Quite frankly I don’t care and that’s the point of these articles, to just talk about some books I read in the year. However, I did want to note that maybe this year’s article was going to be a bit shorter than the multi-thousand-word, 10-page dissertation on what I’…

Phenixx Gaming 2025 Most Wanted

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 01 Jan 2025 14:00:46 +0000

The saying is “New Year, new me.” Too bad the “new me” also wishlists far too many games long before they come out. As we look ahead at the coming year of releases and beyond, we thought we’d look at the upcoming games the Phenixx Gaming staff are most excited about in the coming months and maybe even years given the number of delays. Without wasting more time, let’s get into everyone’s top picks…

2024 in Games: A Review

Alexx Aplin — Tue, 31 Dec 2024 18:00:15 +0000

At the end of the year, I always like to look back and see how the gaming industry performed. I think anyone who pays attention to gaming trends can usually tell when a year is less interesting or enticing than others. 2024 might have seemed at first like it could have been a lean year, but as we close out the year, I’m inclined to believe that it was actually a really solid one.

Keiran’s Top 3 Games of 2024

Keiran McEwen — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 18:00:18 +0000

Despite playing very little of the big hitters this year, I’ve found it hard to define the top of my list. I know where the bottom lies, next to a certain Prime Minister from the 80s, but we’ll get to that. As usual, you’ll hardly find Hellblade 2, Helldivers 2, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Persona 3 Reload, or even Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, maybe even Shadow of the Erdtree. While everyone else was playing…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, for me that is. In this series, we’ll explore the 2024 albums of the year, a list of 25 records I believe to be the year’s finest. I love doing this annually for Phenixx Gaming and I appreciate when people reach out on Instagram asking about where new releases will land come time to write these end-of-year articles. Without further ado, let’s dive into…

It’s that time again! The team at Phenixx Gaming has come together to deliver details on our Games of the Year for 2024. Because we come from such different backgrounds and gaming styles, we don’t just pick one game for our entire team. If you’ve been with us since we started, you know the drill, but here are a few guidelines for a refresher. No games in Early Access are included…

Phenixx Gaming’s 2024 Holiday Greetings

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:00:15 +0000

We have survived another year everyone! With storms, flooding in the Sahara Desert (that actually happened), and a variety of other climate-based issues, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that getting to the end of 2024 was an exercise in tenacity and willpower. With the end of 2024 though comes a tradition here at Phenixx Gaming! Those of us who work here at Phenixx Gaming are taking a break.

Phenixx Gaming’s GOTY Staff Picks 2023

Alexx Aplin — Fri, 29 Dec 2023 17:00:46 +0000

As is tradition, the staff at Phenixx Gaming has come together for the usual rundown of our personal picks for Game of the Year. The criteria here is that the game had to be released in 2023, it could not be currently in Early Access, and it could not be DLC. Since Phenixx Gaming is built on a myriad of opinions, we detail each staff member’s pick, rather than settling on one. Without further ado…

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 25 Dec 2023 13:00:08 +0000

Even in a year like 2023 with everything that has gone wrong for so many people, I find that traditions are important. As such, Phenixx Gaming wants to extend its Holiday greetings to you and your family, no matter where you are or what is happening. 2023 has been a hard year for a lot of people, but there has been some brightness in it too. We had an amazing year of games, with games like Tears…

Keiran’s Reads of 2022

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 18:00:42 +0000

Warning: Some of the books in this article are for mature audiences, reader discretion is advised. Surprisingly, last year’s article about the books I read (and current reads) somehow sparked a bit of interest. To me, it was a clown talking about some tattoos on a dead tree. Alternately, it was a collection of unseen numbers, letters, and symbols that made my Star Trek pad of adventure reflect…
