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

Big Sky shooter tripping on to PS Vita

A combination of indie devs Boss Baddie, VooFoo and publisher Ripstone (the later two brought us Pure Chess) are bringing a hot and trippy-looking shooter to the PS Vita. Big Sky Infinity is a new product (the game below is an older title for PC).




From the release, "the newest iteration in the Big Sky series is Big Sky: Infinity, it will be the first of the Big Sky games to appear on a handheld or home console and will be available on PlayStation3 and PlayStation Vita later this year. Big Sky: Infinity is a procedurally generated, super fast, twin-stick shooter game that will introduce new modes and enemies, and touch controls to its predecessors."
