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 .

MXGP gets its first Vita trailer

PQube and Milestone are hard at work bringing motocross to the Vita and other formats. Today we get a first look at the Vita version (which is up for pre-order on Amazon) and a brief explanation from director Alessandro Castrucci of how it compares to the PS3 version.



"The PS Vita version of the game has been developed simultaneously with the PS3 one, although it isn’t a porting of the home console.

Thanks to this feature you’ll be able to execute tricks such as Scrubs and Whips."
