Mortal Kombat 11 (PC) Review

As I’ve mentioned at least once or twice throughout my tenure here at Phenixx Gaming, I’ve been a stalwart fan of the Mortal Kombat franchise for several years now. As you might expect in light of that, I was exceptionally excited to…

What Overwatch Gets Wrong With Sigma

Last week, Blizzard revealed the newest Overwatch character, Sigma. In his lore, Sigma was mentally damaged during his experiments with black holes, turning him into what he is. However, much like the Omnic Crisis at the core of Overwatch‘s backstory, this was…

US Representative & Governor Blames Games For Shootings

I’ve been expecting this day since I started writing for websites last year; another shooting and another blame game is being played. This weekend there were two mass shootings, both in the continental US, and both with automatic weapons. However, at this…

Switch Lite Now Available For Pre-order

Almost a month ago it was confirmed, after months of speculation, in which I concluded that Nintendo would announce at their Nintendo Direct during E3 that the Nintendo Switch Lite would be confirmed. This second-generation, (if you like that term) of the…

Need for Speed Coming to GamesCom

Earlier this week we saw a leak that no one was expecting; however, it is a leak unlike the mess that was a Reddit user testing the patience of every YouTuber that reports on every rumor like it is the bible. This…

Epic Stole Another Dance From An Artist

I feel as if I should just be a town crier, yelling from the rooftops with a bell, “They have done it again, they’ve done it again!” I should also explain in my condescending way to anyone younger than three-hundred-years-old; that town…
