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.

Assassin's Creed III Liberation scores now coming out

If you follow my tweets, you know this game is in the post, so it'd better be good. The reviews are out and its a mixed bag of scores so far from the low sevens to the high eights. At which point, I wonder if the reviewers are playing it from a standalone perspective or comparing it to the full-fat games.

Kotaku - Yes
Just Push Start – 8.7/10
Gaming Trend - 84%
Game Informer – 7.75/10
Hardcore Gamer 4/5
IGN – 7.2/10
Games Radar 3/5
1UP - "C"
Cheat CC 4.8/5

A few reviews cite some bugs and crashes, but since the main ACIII game is getting a day one patch for 40+ fixes, I guess a Vita patch won't be far behind. .Some folks already have their copies, what do you think of it? These come hot on the heels of Need for Speed scores, which I think was looking the better bet.
