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!

TableTop Tanks uses AR to put armour in your house

Those AR cards that came with your PS Vita have probably pretty underused after a few novelty goes on the diving and football games. You might want to dust them down for TableTop Tanks though. Rumbling out of the barracks next week, this game from Devil's Details brings a kind of reverse tower defence game to your tabletop.
