Born from a Passion for Gaming
RocketPhantoms was founded in Melbourne in 2019 by a small group of friends who were frustrated with gaming media that felt disconnected from real players. We wanted a place where reviews were written by people who actually cared — not by journalists on tight deadlines who'd played a game for three hours.
What started as a personal blog quickly grew into one of Australia's most trusted gaming destinations, covering everything from indie gems to AAA blockbusters, and from grassroots LAN events to major national esports tournaments.
Today, RocketPhantoms reaches over 80,000 readers each month and has covered more than 120 esports events across Australia. Our team of eight dedicated writers, analysts, and event correspondents are spread across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth.
Honesty First
We never accept payment for positive reviews. Our scores reflect genuine experience.
Community Driven
Our readers shape what we cover. Your feedback directly influences our editorial calendar.
Aussie Perspective
We review games with Australian players in mind — server availability, pricing, and local community.
Depth Over Speed
We take the time to complete games properly before publishing. No rushed reviews here.
