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’…

Another Crab’s Treasure (PC) – Review

Keiran McEwen — Fri, 03 Jan 2025 14:00:30 +0000

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 where it is wetter, down where it is better, and where a sex joke sits that I can’t say. A Souls-like in almost every sense of the phrase…

Lower Decks “Fully Dilated” – Review

Keiran McEwen — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 18:00:54 +0000

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 get pretty solid direction from the former storyboard artist. From a name we know to a writing assistant we don’t, Andrew Mueth takes the helm…

Wandersong (PC) Review

David Sanders — Thu, 02 Jan 2025 14:00:56 +0000

“Skipper Dan,” a song by “Weird Al” Yankovic, tells the story of a brilliant actor who has always been told he’ll be extremely famous someday. However, because he can’t find any big-ticket gigs in show business, he ultimately ends up working a job he despises, as a tour guide on Disneyland’s Jungle Cruise ride. This might seem strange, but the story told within Wandersong strikes me as the exact…

Someone Should Bring Back Marvel Heroes

Alexx Aplin — Wed, 01 Jan 2025 18:00:13 +0000

Games are canceled regularly these days. With multiplayer games like MMOs and Live-Service games, of course eventually things are going to get shut down. However, I’d like to discuss one game that was shut down that should make a return in one form or another, Marvel Heroes. In June 2013, Gazillion Entertainment (now closed) created a game called Marvel Heroes, later known as Marvel Heroes Omega.

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.
