Super Arcade Soccer (PC) – Review

EA and Konami have been battling it out over who can make the best kicking a ball with your feet simulator. They have done so for almost two decades, with more recent games leaning towards the predatory gambling-side for online elements of…

Twitch Prime Loot – September 2019

I knew this would happen one day: I just didn’t expect it to be so soon. I predicted two things would happen: first, the big-name appeal or new-ish release titles would stop; second, we’d get duplicates. I’ve previously spoken about the big-name…

Eggs 1942 (PC) – Review

Hear me out on this one: Battlefield, but with eggs. No, stop moving your mouse cursor over to the home section, I’m honestly suggesting it. One of the few games I’ve enjoyed through the years of playing any and all dross indie developers…

F1 2019 Update At Risk Following Fatal Crash

Since reviewing F1 2019 this past June, I’ve periodically returned to play the game, taking my driver from 1st in Australia through the season to 1st everywhere else. However, playing a game such as F1 2019, I have had to sit waiting for…

Modder Remakes Red Dead Redemption For PC

Emulation is a huge grey area for us here at Phenixx Gaming. While the software itself isn’t illegal, the content that it provides is within legal parameter that’s both protected by the copyright holder of the game and (technically) not. The basic…

The Surge Currently Free On Steam

As I made clear in the Rebel Galaxy Outlaw review, I have a penchant (for lack of a French word) for being abused by something with three bums for a face and a big hammer. My exact words were, “Yes, being inseminated…

Rebel Galaxy Outlaw (PC) – Review

What is the worst possible mechanic you can think of in a game? I would like to propose the idea of kicking the player out of the game, into the main menu, and then forcing them to reload the game from wherever…
