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! But he's had the energy and drive to do something about it, and met the right people to get the job done!  What first got you interested in Vectrex and what spawned the idea of a Mini version? I’ve always been passionate about retro-gaming, but my first love was computers rather than consoles — the ZX81, then the Commodore 128. I only really discovered the console world in the late 90s, which is when I got my very first Vectrex. Of course, I had seen it in stores back in 1983, but at that time it was far too expensive for me.  Today, I own five Vectrex systems at home. Vector-based games ...

New Vita games announced alongside EU launch line-up


Two new titles were announced to brighten up the PS Vita's not-too-shabby launch line up for next February. They include Unit 13, a squad shooter from Zipper (The Socom guys) and MotoStorm RC, a scaled-down version of the PS3/PSP series. Here's what Sony has to say about the games, pics later.

Unit 13 - An Authentic Shooter Built to Play in the Field

First revealed was Unit 13, a third-person military shooter that will offer gamers a true, dual-analogue experience. Designed from the ground up for PS Vita by Zipper Interactive, Unit 13 focuses on contemporary mission scenarios with an authentic ‘ripped from the headlines' feel.
Players will be tasked with demanding missions in the most hostile regions of the world - to stop terrorists, dictators, gunrunners, warlords and drug traffickers from destabilising the Horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and South Asia.
Players will choose from six different classes - Infiltrator, Sniper, Soldier, Technician, Point Man, and Support - based on their role and your own playing style.

Designed specifically for PS Vita, Unit 13 focuses on portable play, with bite-sized gameplay and a non-linear mission structure that will allow players to jump in at any time, without having to keep up with a story or previous events.

MotorStorm RC - Addictive and Social RC Action

SCEE also revealed a brand new PS Vita launch title from Evolution Studios, MotorStorm RC.

A unique blend of old-school and contemporary racing gameplay, MotorStorm RC is an addictive racer, with social interaction at the fore.  Players will be able to build an impressive garage of vehicles, with 24 vehicles initially available to unlock in the game, with DLC and expansion packs allowing gamers to access new tracks, vehicles, and more, planned after launch.
