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!

NGP Launch Line-Up Firming Up; WipeOut, Uncharted, ModNation plus new games

Sony's NGP launch is starting to feel a little more real as a number of sources suggest that the launch line-up of first party games will feature titles both new and old. A report has suggested that it might launch in Europe and the US before Japan in 2011.

A Resistance game is expected to release in the new year and will be one of the first games to use some NGP trickery, using the system's camera to help players pick up weaspons according to a snippet at UberGizmo.
