Last year when news started to leak out about the Sony Xperia Play, people didn’t believe that Sony would merge the phone and the psp. Now we are just weeks away from it’s US release on Verizon Wireless. The Xperia Play was released at Mobile World Congress and then demoed again at CTIA. We’ve had our hands on one for about a month now and it’s a great device.
One of the challenges we’ve run into is finding the games that are optimized for the use of the slide out D-pad found on the Sony Xperia Play. We’ve been playing Glu Mobile’s Super KO Boxing, Gun Brothers and Family Guy Uncensored and the games look beautiful on the Xperia Plays screen and the D-Pad makes the game play much better, and more natural.
