Watch us play Guacamelee from 5pm BST

Come and avocado if you think you're hard enough.

Poor old Vita owners, stuck with their shiny machines without any games to play on them. Oh, what's that? There's one out this week? And it's one of dozens of curios and modern classics that's on the handheld? I should just shut up, download the new firmware and get arranging them all in neat little folders.

This week Guacamelee's out on the Vita, alongside a PS3 version that we'll be streaming from 5pm BST today. It's a good one, apparently - Chris was charmed by the whole thing, summing up a warm review by noting that "Like the best luchadores in the business, Guacamelee has real heart and a blazing desire to put on a good show."

If you like what you see in Ian's Let's Play, pay attention and you could win one of five download codes he'll be giving out during the hour livestream.
