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…

Gift Guide: Turn-Based Strategy & Tactics Games

I’ve always preferred turn-based strategy games as opposed to real-time strategy. I find I struggle with having to manage multiple units and make tactical decisions without having as much time to think things through as I would prefer, even though I almost…

With the holidays upon us and the arrival of winter (at least in this hemisphere), you and/or your loved ones might be looking for some new “cozy” games to play until the hustle and bustle of the holiday season has relented and…
