If you ever played any of the Dead Space games before then you know what to expect. Dead Space is a claustrophobic horror game. You are by yourself and you're always looking behind your back and around the next corner just waiting for something to pop out at you. So how does Dead Space wprk on the Xperia Play?
Let me start off by saying I played this game for a few levels on the Iphone when it first came out. I was impressed by the production value and the graphics were console quality. The problem I had were the controlls. While they did work, I didn't want to play a console style game without console controlls. So I never played it more than a few minutes.
Now its on the Xperia Play(and it's free for a few months) and I have to say it's fantastic. If you wanted to sell anyone on how well this phone works as a gaming device this would be the game to use. The touch pads work as well as any analog stick I've ever used. The other buttons and triggers work perfectly. I really felt like I was playing a game console, not a phone. Seriously I can not praise this game enough. If you own a Xperia Play download this game! It's the most fun I've had on any mobile gaming device.

Battle Field 2 Xperia Play Review
Battle Field 2 for Xperia Play is now free on the market. Since it was free I downloaded the game and let me say...it's okay. When I first fired it up I was impressed by the graphics. The game looked crisp and I thought "wow, this is going to be great". Then I saw the first enemy and how N64 he looked compared to everything else in the game. They don't look horrible, but they could look much better. I expect more from games these days (even mobile games).
Now the controlls is where the game stutters. You move your character with the left analog pad, and controll the camera with the right analog pad. Aiming down the scope and firing are done with the triggers. Other actions are done with game pads other buttons. The problem I had is with the right analog stick. It doesn;t respond with your movements well. It's overally sensitive and there is no way to adjust it. At first it was unplayable, but I stuck with it. The more I played I realized that it auto aims as long as you are pointing near the enemy. This does make the game playable, but takes away any real challenge since you really don't have to aim.
Overall Battlefield 2 is a mixed bag. It does mix up sequences such as driving tanks and maning a machine gun. This keeps the action from being the same old run and gun. If the controlls were tweaked I would say I love this game. Since they aren't at this time I can only say...I played the game...and then deleted it from my phone to free up space. Of course it is free as of right now(and will be for a few months), so give it a try.
