Keiran’s Top Books of 2024
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…

Another Crab’s Treasure (PC) – Review
It all depends on your definition of a Souls-like, but Another Crab’s Treasure places itself among the pantheon of imitations despite lacking one of the defining traits of the genre. Released early in the year, Aggro Crab’s second game takes place down…
Lower Decks “Fully Dilated” – Review
Penis, bums, and willies, or are we just saying the double entendres are not intentional in an episode called “Fully Dilated”? Directed by Megan Lloyd again, I know before I see more than a minute of the episode that we’re going to…
Phenixx Gaming 2025 Most Wanted
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…
Keiran’s Top 3 Games of 2024
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…

Lower Decks “Of Gods and Angels” – Review
So what exactly happened to Captain Carrol? Directed by Brandon Williams, this is his penultimate episode before we cover “Fissure Quest” towards the end of Lower Decks. I’ve previously covered what Williams has done in his other episode of the season, “The…
Lies of P (PC) – Second Opinion Review
We all know the story of Timothée Chalamet and Jiminy (or Gemini in-game) Cricket in the story from Italian writer Carlo Collodi, right? So I am sure I don’t have to explain in great detail the plot of Neowiz Games and Round8…
Black One Blood Brothers (PC) – Preview
Let’s play the usual game of me talking about a tactical shooter/military sim, while also notably being quite vocal on the after-action reports of real-world missions. If we’re one thing as humans, we’re contradictions. Something that sounds like a contradiction is a…
Black (PS2) – Review
The year was 2006, the console was the PS2, and the developer was Criterion Games. The perfect storm of developer, console, and year following half a decade of car-crashing success. Better still, the studio was still backed by EA, meaning the studio…
