Festive portable deals take off from Xbox Ally, Nintendo, PlayStation and Evercade

This page started for black Friday but has moved on as the deals come and go. I will update across the festive sales, as new portable hardware deals appear. I won't hype them as "pocket change" or "fire sale" like some sites, because that's bollocks.  December deals :  Evercade has 30% off various hardware, depending on the store, check the blog for details .  PlayStation Portal is currently £20 off on Amazon UK  (another £10 off for refurbs)  Update: Valve has jumped in with 20% off the Steam Deck LCD 256GB model (down to £279 in the UK) Update: Xbox Ally has various deals (pretty short-lived, but likely getting cut again for the post Christmas sale).  Update: PlayStation Portal has £20 off the range, bringing the white and black models down to £179, and 30th Anniversary Edition to £189. (Look out for another 5% off at checkout!)  First up is  Evercade offering a clutch of offers on hardware and games on Amazon and across other stores in Europ...

Guacamelee reviews coming in, hot stuff

IGN has up the first review of indie-smash Guacamelee, giving it a sturdy 9/10.
Sure, Guacamelee may be short – too short, in fact – but this gripe is, in the end, a compliment to its quality. It left me wanting more. Guacamelee is one of Vita’s best games, a top echelon PSN game for PS3, and DrinkBox Studios’ best effort to date. More, please.
PocketGamer is also on the case with a Gold Award and a 9/10
Within those six hours, Drinkbox borrows from the best - with the world design of Metroid, and the puzzle-led mechanics of Zelda - and also adds its own twist, with tricky platforming sections and intensely enjoyable brawling. Mash that all together and you get Guacamelee - stupidly enjoyable, utterly silly, and quite possibly the best game on the Vita.



Looks like a another solid indie performer to go alongside Velocity Ultra and the others.
