Gunboat God (PC) Review

You can tell a video game is brimming with style from the first few seconds of its trailer. Gunboat God certainly has that hook, as one glance at its vibrant colors, flashy visuals, and compelling gameplay loop, and it’s quick to turn heads and…

Ugly Betty “Betty’s Wait Problem” – Review

The customer is always right, especially when it comes to their food. If you make food for people to order, I will die on the hill that the customer is always right. This is the final outing for our director of the…

Revisiting Freddi Fish and the Case of the Stolen Jewel

I’m not saying I’m the number one fan of the library on the Phenixx Gaming team, but I’ve gotta be in the running. Between reading over 100 books a year and grabbing games to try that I’m not interested in owning, I’m…

Clockwork Ambrosia (PC) Review

I love Metroidvania games a lot. I find myself wishlisting a lot of them when I see them pop up either in my inbox or on my Steam recommendations list. As such, Clockwork Ambrosia was on my radar before its release date.…

Ugly Betty “How Betty Got Her Grieve Back” – Review

Old gays, news gays, little gays, and little greys. Directed by James Hayman, we know this wonderful queen from directing all the big episodes of Ugly Betty, including “Queens for a Day,” “Sofia’s Choice,” “Derailed,” and, of course, “East Side Story.” While…

Wax Heads (PC) Review

You kids today have things so easy, with your music streaming platforms that pay artists a pittance. Back in my day, if we wanted to acquire music through the Internet, we had to buy songs in a proprietary format on iTunes. Or,…

Bus Bound (PC) – Review

A handful of years later, and I am still both positively and negatively talking about Stillalive Studios’ previous bus-based simulation game. It would seem like poor form to mention it by name in the opening line of the review of the new…
