goukigodThe 8BitDo Mod Kit for Original N64 Controller is a DIY kit from 8BItDo that allows you to convert an original N64 controller into a wireless controller to use with the Switch.
This is an interesting mod. It’s a little bit cheaper than the Genuine N64 Controller for the Switch and as far as the installation goes, is fairly straightforward, requiring no soldering. Its limited compatibility might not be a great fit for everyone though and the Hall effect stick replacement is likely to be a contentious topic amongst purists.
This review covers both the wireless mod kit and the hall effect. It also provides an overview of the installation process, some comparison to the original hardware, and what the Hall effect stick is like to use on an original N64.

#jblquantum #gamingheadset #reviewDead space 3 review 2023 | Underrated and unappreciatedgoukigod2023-09-17 | Dead Space 3 got a pretty bad wrap when it launched 10 years ago. While most agreed that it is a good game, the numerous changes that EA demanded resulted in a less scary experience. It also received a lot of backlash for how microtransactions were implemented, and overall, there just isn't much love for the third and final game in the trilogy.
Is it really that bad though? A lot of people will tell you that it killed the franchise. I’m not so sure. There are things it doesn't do so well but overall this is a big and beautiful game that's worth your time!

It was one of the earliest reviews I made, and while I think many aspects of that video still hold up, I left out a lot of information.
Also, the quality of the gameplay in that original video isn’t great. So, not only is the gameplay in this video going to be of a higher visual quality but it’s also going to be a much more detailed review. This video will cover the Japanese release Street Fighter Zero Fighter’s Generation, what’s still missing from this collection, why it needs an update and what should be included in a modern version.
I’m also going to look at the alternatives for playing the Alpha and Zero games in 2023. This is an excellent collection for PS2 owners but it isn’t necessarily the best method to play these games, particularly if you want online multiplayer.

Active noise cancelling, ambient passthrough, touch controls, a microphone and dual-source wireless just to name a few. It’s reasonably inexpensive too, retailing at $230 Australian or $150 US. They work with PC, Mac, PS4, PS5 and the Switch.
I’ve been using the TWS in my setup for over a month now and I’ve found myself reaching for them more often than not. So let me tell you why I like them so much.

It was supposed to have been the start of a big new franchise but instead, it has ended up a forgotten entry in Sony’s otherwise stellar exclusive catalogue.
Is it really that bad though? 8 years after its launch, and many discounts later, could it finally be worth it now? It has plenty of issues but at the cost of a cup of coffee, are they really that big and could it have possibly been a victim of poor timing?
To answer these questions, this review will cover the game’s development, launch, story, gameplay and incredible presentation. I'll talk about what your options for playing it in 2023 are and if there's any benefit in playing it on the PS5. I’ll also talk about why it failed and those persistent sequel rumours.
If you’ve ever wondered if The Order 1886 is actually worth playing, I think it is, and you should watch this review to find out why!

The 2023 remake aimed to preserve the original experience while elevating it as much as possible. This included the various interfaces throughout the game. The 2008 Dead Space still holds up, although it’s fair to say the UI design is one area that hasn’t aged so well. Motive Studios has done an incredible job at making the UI more usable and adding in new features such as accessibility, without losing the look and feel of the first game.
So in this video, I analyse the various user interfaces in the remake by comparing them to the original to see exactly how this was achieved and how it improves the UX.

I’m going to say something that many people probably don’t want to admit. I know this because I used to be one of them, and that’s that they don’t actually know what good audio is. At least from a technical standpoint.
As an example, for a lot of people, good-sounding audio is defined simply by how much base it has, and, by the way, that’s totally fine. I’m not here to lecture you on what you should like. Sound is incredibly subjective and what sounds good to one person might sound like complete trash to someone else. So at the end of the day, if it sounds good to you, that’s the only thing that matters.

There are a ton of solutions to choose from and probably a bunch you've never even considered. So in this video, I’m going to explain the difference between headsets, headphones, earbuds and IEMs. I’ll weigh up their pros and cons, provide some different use case examples, show you a variety of solutions and make some recommendations.
So if you want to understand their pros and cons and which one is the right one for playing games, this video should sort you out.

That being said, the Breakers Collection contains almost perfect ports of the originals that add a suite of modern features, such as a gallery and online with rollback net code.
If you’ve never heard of these games before, they might look like generic 2D fighting games. The Neo Geo’s library is overflowing with excellent fighters so you’d be forgiven for overlooking them. I strongly recommend giving this collection a look though. Breakers and Breakers Revenge are fast, technical and a little bit nuts!
It’s also an incredibly good-looking game, even by today's standards and I don’t think it gets the appreciation it deserves. It's easily one of the best PS3 games and if you haven’t been blown away by the recent God of War titles, and prefer the older games, then I strongly recommend giving it a go.
If you want to know if God of War Ascension is worth playing then the answer is yes and this review will tell you why.

I’ve been testing it out over the past few weeks and I’ve been very impressed. This is a great controller with very few flaws and if you play a lot of N64 games on your switch, this is an excellent option!

If you have the opportunity, play the Dead Space (2023) remake because, in just about every way, the dead space remake is better than the original dead space. It’s bigger, scarier and it looks incredible! Motive Studio has captured the original's look and feel while smoothing out some of the rough edges and adding loads more to see and do. If you're on PS5, Xbox series or PC, do yourself a favour and play it.
This review will make many comparisons to the original but I've also done my best to service new players. This isn't just a game for fans of the original.

It’s a side-scrolling action platformer/Metroidvania that’s kind of like the lovechild of a threeway between Shinobi 3, Mega man and Ninja Gaiden. It’s out tomorrow (13/01/23), or now - depending on when you watch this video - for PC and current/last gen.
I've really enjoyed my time with it and if you were hanging out for this one, or you just like these types of games, then do yourself a favour and give Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider a go.

At $320 Australian it’s competitively priced too.
Unfortunately, it has a few issues which hold it back. These a very situational and subjective though so they won’t necessarily affect everyone and overall, there are still many things to like about it.

When the game came home on console there were more changes still, such as new music and more characters. Some versions of the game even have different stories and endings.
The PS2 version of Street fighter alpha 2 gold is the most complete from a content point of view but isn’t necessarily the best from a gameplay standpoint.
