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 .

LEGO Hobbit gets a launch trailer

Update: The game is now live on the UK PSN, at £34.99.
