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...

Operation Abyss leads a busy week for Vita reviews in Famitsu

While Yoshi's New Island top scores for the 3DS in this week's Famitsu, Operation Abyss (screens) might not have smashed scoring records, but looks to have done well enough to be another big seller, on the back of the success of Demon Gaze.

Well done to Milestone who's WRC 4 gets the best Vita score of the week, I'm not sure how many rally fans there are in Japan but with no new Sega Rally (since the PSP version?) recently, I guess it stands out as something different.

5bp's Corpse Party: Blood Drive ramps up the scares, but perhaps at the expense of gameplay. Note, the PSP titles are currently 2-for-1 on the US PSN, Corpse Party/Corpse Party: Book of Shadows (PS Vita & PSP) for $19.99. All the games are out on the 24th in Japan.

I'm not sure what Ten no Koku (video below) did to polarize the reviewers, but I doubt we'll be seeing it anyway, its a visual novel where kids meet in their dreams which become perilous places indeed. Read more about that on this handy Visual Novel blog.

Yoshi’s New Island (3DS) – 8/9/8/8
WRC 4: FIA World Rally Championship (PS3/PSV) – 7/8/8/8
Tokyo New World Record: Operation Abyss (PSV) – 7/8/8/7
Corpse Party: Blood Drive (PSV) – 7/8/7/7
Soushuu Senshinkan Gakuen: Hachimyoujin – Ten no Koku (PSV) – 6/8/4/8
