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 .

Eastasiasoft pops two Awesome Peas in a pod

Continuing their run of recent news, Eastasiasoft is bringing both Awesome Pea adventures in a double-pack to the Vita. The Pigeon Dev/Sometimes You coded titles pack in plenty of challenge and not so many vitamins into their twisted puzzle levels, with that cheery green Game Boy hue about them.
