An important update has just been released for the iPhone and Apple Watch earlier today. It brings bug fixes and improvements for iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max users. The new Apple Watch update also improves syncing issues for apps including Wallet.

The update is quite large on the iPhone weighing in at 1.36GB. The Apple Watch update is much smaller, at 126MB.

There doesn’t seem to be an update for the Apple TV, iPad or Mac at this time. I will do another post if that changes.

We’ve been hard at work replicating a classic 90s arcade experience here at GameXcess.net, and you can’t replicate a 90s arcade without the most iconic arcade cabinet of the time, the Neo-Geo.

Neo-Geo was an arcade and home console platform developed by SNK. By modern standards the Neo-Geo was an arcade console. At arcades, multi-game cabinets were common which offered players the chance to cycle through anywhere from two to six games at any time. Arcade owners who offered Neo-Geo machines could find themselves with the opportunity to easily swap new games without having to replace the entire cabinet. In total, one-hundred forty-three games were offered throughout the platform’s lifespan.

Now, UNICO is offering a bartop-sized Neo-Geo arcade machine preloaded with fifty classic games including Metal Slug, Fatal Fury and Shock Troopers. How does it look?

We filmed this in 4K HDR but due to some issues we encountered while editing we decided to release the edited video in 1080p. Hope you all enjoyed.

EA shocked everyone when they released this new look into the upcoming remake of Dead Space. As someone who fondly remembers the original 2008 game I must admit it was exciting to see all these recognizable moments looking even better than they did back in the day. Time to start screaming.

Damn I must admit that looks really good. We’ll see how the final product holds up.

Dead Space coming January 2023 to PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
