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 .

Criminal Girls 2 is a UK No. 1 at retail

The UK retail chart of non-specific sales continues to provide a chuckle as NIS America's Criminal Girls 2: Party Favors storms to No. 1. They could at least have given it a UK spelling, how many do we reckon it sold, 100 physical units?

Last week's No. 1 Psycho Pass is on the express elevator to hell, down to No. 10 while God Eater 2 continues to show more legs than the Criminal Girls sticking around the top five after a month on sale.

FIFA 15 reenters at No. 17 and Lego games are surging up, suggesting people are stocking up for kids' Christmas presents, anyone know if EA bothered to update the FIFA roster?

1. Criminal Girls 2 NIS America
2. Lego Star Wars: The Force Awakens Warner
3. Minecraft PS Vita Edition Mojang
4. God Eater 2: Rage Burst Bandai
5. Lego Marvel Avengers Warner

 Over on Amazon UK's top seller list, Need for Speed at under £10 is currently top for Vita games, with pre-orders for World of Final Fantasy at No. 2 and FIFA 15 shooting up the wing at No. 3. Criminal Girls is down at 37, suggesting a very short sentence in the chart.



Out this week at retail are physical copies of the excellent Lumo, while after a few weeks' delay Valkyrie Drive finally revs up, courtesy of PQube!
