Vectrex Mini interview - David Oghia talks up the nostalgic vector powerhouse

Having been wowed by the news of the Vectrex Mini at Gamescom , I rushed off some questions to VectrexOn's main man  David Oghia . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

OlliOlli2 trick-sliding to the Vita

OlliOlli2: Welcome To Olliwood has just been announced by Roll7 at EGX in London. Guess the first one did pretty well as this will expand on the original in all ways with new worlds, levels and tricks, the names of which defy explanation, like the Anti-Casper Flip and Darkslides.

The alpha version is playable at EGX and if you missed the original it is now half-price on the EU PSN.

 There will be 5 NEW worlds, 50 NEW Amateur and Pro Levels and 250 NEW Challenges to tear through, along with the return of the much loved Daily Grind, Spots Mode and RAD Mode. On top of this smorgasbord of delights, OlliOlli2 is set to have a NEW Mode: Combo Rush.

This mode is a split-screen Local Multiplayer (up to 4 players) that pits players in a race to ramp up biggest scores on a spot in a set time limit. Once again, the crate diggers at Roll7 are scouring the airwaves for a shimmering 18 track curated extended Soundtrack to the game that you can't just stop playing.
