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.

There's a Risk of Rain on the Vita

Hopoo's Risk of Rain has finally arrived on the PS Vita, many years after its PC launch, bringing multiplayer rogue-liking to the handheld. Packed with challenges, death, easy access multiplayer and more death, your tiny character must blast his way to victory, reaching the level's teleport device, then survive long enough to beat the boss and for the teleport to activate.


Different skills and weapons, plus a range of difficulty options really make the game a serious challenge, a shame there's no demo to try as it might not be for everyone. Should hopefully have a review up soon. There's a longer explanation of the game in an earlier piece and you can listen to the well-respected soundtrack here

Update, here's a look at the game in action on the Vita, from YouTuber ItsBradazHD, in case you were worrying about those tiny graphics.
