If there was one thing that bothered us most about the
Xperia Play, it was the dearth of original PlayStation games we could, you know,
play on it. That's getting a shot in the arm tonight with the introduction of five PS One titles to the Android Market:
Syphon Filter,
MediEvil,
Cool Boarders 2,
Destruction Derby, and
Jumping Flash. Each is priced at £3.99 in the UK, with the first two games on the list also being available in five languages. That pricing translates to $6.38 when the games are accessed from the US, but we imagine the final pricing may differ once the Xperia Play
lands stateside. And yes, the Xperia Play
will be your only way to access these for now (
R800i is its codename), leaving the rest of us Android PS One lovers with a bunch of games to envy and
one less emulator to enjoy. The Android giveth, and the Android taketh away.
Update: Sony Ericsson wants you to know that since the Xperia Play is, in fact, an Android handset, it won't be restricted to
just those five PS One games -- it will also feature quite a few titles that you can also find on the Android Market and even a few temporary exclusives like
Backstab and
Dungeon Defenders Second Wave. Still, it's a little light on actual PlayStation gaming... See the full list in the press release after the break.
