Getting good vibrations
With Sony Ericsson in full marketing mode when it comes to its PlayStation Phone - Xperia Play - it's also keen to get publishers and developers supporting the Android device.
As part of this push, it's released a bunch of interviews with key support partners.

"My vision since the creation of Gameloft was to turn video games into a true mass market form of entertainment. This vision is realised with the launch of Xperia PLAY, which combines a perfect smartphone for daily use as well as a real game controller to provide the best gaming experience ever seen on a mobile phone.
"Gameloft will support the launch with more than 20 titles over the next six months that will take full advantage of the power of this device."
