Backgammon Blitz hitting the Vita

The traditional game, plus a new souped-up version are hitting the Vita and PS4 this week for just £4.99, adding to Pure Chess as more cerebral offerings for gamers who want a quieter time of it this Christmas. Publisher VooFoo lists the features as including:

• Stunning photo realistic graphics
• Local multiplayer
• Seamless cross-platform, a-sync multiplayer (yep, that means PS Vita vs PS4!)
• Brand new, unprecedented Blitz mode!

Add that to Runner 2 and MotoGP 13 Compact launching this week and that's quite a busy festive break for Vita owners
