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...

SuperIcon's Vektor Wars, loving vectors on the Vita

SuperIcon (Life of Pixel) is hard at work on Vector Wars, developed in Unity, it was announced last week and is confirmed for the Vita among other formats. Check out the dev blog link above for details, but its a little similar to Vektropolis, which seems to have fallen off the radar, and looks pretty spiffy.


From the early peek, it seems to offer a great-looking city to explore and engage in combat around, with bags of detail and effects that bring the old vectors to life. Throw in a bit of compelling story and plenty of action, and we should have a great game on our hands. 
From the post: "I used to love the old 80s style computer wireframe sequences and visual styling from movies like Escape from New York, Terminator, Tron - bright super saturated computer wireframe imagery. Also the classic early vector 3D games like Elite, Starglider, Mercenary & Battlezone - I spent many happy hours playing those games and I don’t think I’ve ever topped that feeling of immersion from exploring those early 3D worlds."


Check back later, the developers have promised some new screenshots and perhaps a video of the game in action, just for you!
