GN: "Back in 2008, on the eve of the Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 launch, lead programmer Stephen Cakebread proudly announced that his team had enough ideas "for probably about 10 games." Sadly, this confidence didn't translate into a string of sequels. With the exception of the iOS release in 2010, Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is the first new installment in six years. And while it's a solid, well-built extension of one of my favorite Xbox 360 games, the whole thing makes me wonder why it took Activision so long to make a proper follow-up. Whatever the reason, I'm happy to report that Dimensions is yet another fun addition in the Geometry Wars franchise. Although it has been six years, the brand new developers have not missed a beat. This sequel largely builds on what we saw in Retro Evolved 2, adding more game modes and a lengthy single-player campaign. It may not reinvent the dual-stick shooter genre, but I can't imagine fans being disappointed with this $15 package."

Sir Clive Sinclair, the revered inventor and entrepreneur who launched a range of seminal home computers in the 1980s, has backed a new project to revive the ZX Spectrum brand.

His team's new invention is the Sinclair Spectrum Vega; a microconsole that comes with more than 1,000 ZX Spectrum games pre-installed. Resplendent with a familiar aesthetic, the Vega is a miniaturised version of the ZX Spectrum that is both a games controller and console in one.

Once hooked to television sets, the device is capable of running more than the 14,000 games developed during the Spectrum era.

Its creators, a UK firm called Retro Computers, seek £100,000 from the crowdfunding site Indiegogo to help commercialise the project and build the first 1,000 units.

Sinclair Research, the company responsible for the 1982 original, is a shareholder in Retro Computers.

Some 21 hours since the project launched, Retro Computers has raised about £6,800 of total funding. It will need to raise the remaining £93,000 within the next sixty days.

A ten percent royalty of Vega sales will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.
