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 .

BlazBlue Extend Limited Edition brings home the fight

The new version of  BlazBlue Extend Limited Edition has some neat box art and goodies for the PS3, Xbox and PS Vita editions, offering:



• 12 super-high quality prints offering a rare glimpse into the Arc design process.
• Printed on high-grade Hahnemuehle Torchon art card for an exceptional reproduction of the original artwork.
• Never-before seen concepts, sketches and technical drawings from the BlazBlue archives.
• These beautiful prints are exclusive to the European Limited Edition and are unavailable anywhere else in the world.







The Limited Edition also includes the sought after ‘Song Interlude’ soundtrack, featuring new music from Extend as well as two vocal arrangements – Childish Killer and Blue-Bloom composed by Daisuke Ishiwatari.



After reviewing the PSP game, I'm still finding all sorts of fun little nuances and things to like about the characters in the game and although the big hitters of Mortal Kombat, Tekken and Street Fighter and coming to Vita, this deserves some space in your collection.
