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 .

Portal comes to the Vita as a Zen Pinball table

Ooh, so close! The fun bit of sci-fi gaming legend that is Portal from Valve is coming to the Vita in the form of a Zen Studios Pinball 2 table.

The table will be out at the end of the month across PS4, PS3 and Vita platforms. Expect another update for the base game to add compatibility - and perhaps they'll tweak the Vita interface to better show the tables you own.
