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!

Call of Duty: Ghosts Busted for the Vita?

Given last year brought us the unfortunate joke that was Declassified to go along with the proper BlOps2 title, perhaps this year we'll get a slightly better thought-out Ghosts spin-off.



There's supposed to be a team developing this year's Vita game (saw a name in a discussion last week, but can't remember who, anyone know?), and there's already been the odd hopeful store place-holder listing for a CoD 2013 title.

So, Ghosts Busted, Ghost Squad, Ghostly Goings-On, who knows, but hopefully Killzone Mercenary won't be the only awesome first-person shooter ever to grace the Vita.
