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 . After a post-event, well earned, break, he's kindly given us a lot of detail about the project and some new images of the unit to share.  His story mirrors mine somewhat, Vectrex represents a glowing, unaffordable, obelisk of gaming power from our youth!

Switch lines up Lego The Incredibles

With The Incredibles II movie on the way, now is the perfect time for Lego to add a new series to the roster. Pixar's first effort was a so-so film compared to the company's other roster, but perhaps the family of heroes will grow in their second effort.

It will also provide some fresh blood now they've run out of Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars and Marvel games to knock up. The Incredibles offers super-powered characters, adventures and teamwork, combined with all of the humour, puzzle-solving elements and unexpected surprises.



Based on the screens, we're in usual superhero territory with giant robotic mechanoids and a range of special powers to help take them down. The game lands the same day as the new movie, 13 July.
