With the Xperia Play, has Sony created the ultimate mobile phone and gaming unit?

Having owned one for two months, Mark delivers his verdict…

It also hadnt worked so well since I dropped it down the toilet.

Oh, and you’ve got the option to make calls on it, too.

Whatever will they think of next?

Firstly, set your expectations accordingly.

Again, some games are included for free:Asphalt 6, Bruce LeeandStar Battalionare the best of these.

Other titles, likeBackstabandNova 2,are designed specifically for the Play, and available for around 3 each.

iPhone gamers should know what to expect here.

And then we come to the most interesting part of the rig: Playstation Pocket.

This segregated method of playing games is the worst thing about the Xperia Play.

As it is, this is no PlayStation Phone, but thankfully, its also no Nokia N-Gage.
