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 .

Ragnarok Tactics arrives for PSP in the US

While most Vita gamers will be rampaging in Ragnarok Odyssey, don't miss out on Aksys Games's slightly more refined game. It has announced that Ragnarok Tactics, the strategy RPG based on the Ragnarok universe, is out now for US PSP owerns on UMD, as well as digital download for both the PSP and Vita systems.



Developed by GungHo, Ragnarok Tactics features an epic original story with numerous warring factions and five different endings! Featuring an all-new battle system with some familiar Ragnarok universe game classes, creatures, and cultures.

Long ago, a ferocious war, which came to be known as the Holy War, was waged. It was during this bloody conflict that humanity erected a magical barrier to keep both gods and demons from overrunning their world. Once the war was over, it was believed that peace would return. However, humanity soon began to turn on itself, and war began anew.


Features:
  • Immersive Story –With multiple factions to support and a plethora of different endings to pursue, Ragnarok Tactics has a vast wealth of original story content for players to enjoy.
  • Engaging Strategic Battles – Go beyond standard strategy RPG combat with a variety of unique tactical mechanics, such as the Overdrive, Burst Strike, or even resting mid-battles
  • Interact with Friends – Using the Playstation®Portable’s adhoc capabilities, you can exchange weapons and unlock extra features with your friends.
  • Customizable Characters – True to the spirit of former Ragnarok games, Ragnarok Tactics features customizable characters complete with modifiable skills, stats, and job classes.
  • More information about Ragnarok Tactics can be found at www.ragnarok-tactics.com.
