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!

Hidden secrets in PS Vita's Rayman Origins

Given that I still play the PSOne original on my PSP, Rayman Origins should be something to look forward to. The PS blog has a new post up explaining some of the Vita's features including this little tantaliser:
We also have some great PS Vita-specific features available for Rayman Origins.

Playing with a zoomed-in camera view also delivers a new experience and is critical in discovering the game’s many hidden secrets.

The game will be out for launch on the PSV and along with Lumines will be a near essential purchase for proper gamers.
