Growth in the last few years mobile gaming at a rapid pace. At all a Smartphone in your pocket at the time, that your favorite games to offer. The iPhone has dominated especially this space and has a serious threat to more traditional handheld gaming systems like the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable.

Why carry another device if you already have a location gaming platform, are with you in any case? Probably because it is handheld gaming not enough depth and substance in mobile games, as it is dedicated to one. And there is a reason: buttons. The majority of mobile games are played with a Smartphone touch screen and integrated motion/tilt functionality. Sure, this is ideal, to kill some time with raging birds or some Fruit Ninja, but it does not support enough real Final Fantasy, Metal Gear Solidor Call of Duty.

Enter the Sony Ericsson Xperia play, which for a long time unofficially as the PlayStation phone due to its iconic PlayStation button layout was known. Instead of a slide-out QWERTY keyboard on some Smartphones that shows slider found a full-featured D-pad and the square, circle, cross, buttons triangle found on traditional PlayStation controller. There are also two touch-sensitive pads that do a great job at replicating analogue sticks. On the back of the unit, you will find L and R-trigger. The Xperia play is exactly what you want from a more traditional gaming device, but it is in your phone, you need to work to pleasure, to communicate, to carry out, or just to socialize integrated.

People are not prepared to their SMS messages, their immediate access to Facebook and Twitterto give up. But they also want two devices with them making the Xperia play , which are much more attractive. It is what you want and what you need. Unfortunately, it is not the perfect answer, which we had hoped that it was. Don't get me wrong-it is a great device, and we hope that it is trend-setter for more gaming/Smartphone hybrid devices.

As a phone, it is good. Not great, but good in any case. The reason is that the Smartphone market is a multi-billion dollar market with some of the largest tech brands all fight against the best information in a phone possible have. Play back the Xperia will start when it is first spoken at the beginning of the year was, wouldn't we take this question with the listener. But on the play's May 26th release date, a few dual-core Tegra 2 Smartphones (or other similar devices) also launched. These processors easily trump that makes the play Xperia1 GHz Scorpion ARMv7. In a market that had so rapidly Sony Ericsson really moves to settle here faster moving appeal to the gadget geeks out there. That is, it runs Android 2.3 (gingerbread) and provides for a very snappy, user friendly interface.

As a gaming device it only as good as the games on the platform, and right now, they are not so good. Admittedly, more easily due to the conventional controller layout plays these games the Xperia play , but the available play to currently cut cooking on nothing more than has already been published mobile games, rules control the playuse. This negates the point of all these controls to. Coming pre-installed from the six games, there are a few examples of the use of the controller layout is very well done, and we know that more on the way (also Minecraft is Xperia play).

You can tap the information, can tap line-up you the latest games, but it is one thing that you can not touch: the hardware. The phone is absolutely great. It is well built. And does it very well. Also the service life is about 36 hours of regular use (average amounts of games, calls, texts, Web browsing and apps) much better than most mobile phones, the battery. The controller part opens to a strong snap lock similar to a PSP go. The l and R buttons seem little area, but not enough to hamper to your gaming. Each of the face buttons and the D-pad is bouncy and dense. The touch-sensitive are a little strange at first, as it not everything on the market. But once you see that the harder you push, the more response you get, it feels very similar to how an analog-stick. The four inch touchscreen-854 x 480 resolution is razor sharp and clear, but not so stunning, such as the iPhone's retinal display.

The Xperia play a great device as a whole. And it's not really fair, it tap for what games, still not playing it. First of all, if we know that there many Xperia playing exclusively on the way. But we can not help but be saddened by the timing of the whole. It had previously published, can the information more said you from the crowd have. It was later published, notable games have had experience, but the processor still dated appearance would have made. If you the best of both worlds, the Xperia play it yet. But it is a bold mix of "what you want" and "what you need". We can only hope that it successfully see enough published to future iterations, but with more game support from the gate and specifications, which may be longer than 6 months in the wild mobile market store.
