UPDATE: Over on one of the official Madfinger Games forums, the developer has revealed that Shadowgun will debut on the Xperia Play this week. Thanks to 'adampsyreal' for the tip. Original story follows:

Pocket Gamer has received word that Madfinger Games is planning to release a version of Shadowgun fully optimised for the Xperia Play.

A Gears of War style third-person shooter for Android and iOS, Shadowgun received a glittering Pocket Gamer Silver Award when we reviewed the iOS version back in September.

Shadowgun has you blasting your way through mutants, robots, and big bad bosses, and soon you'll be able to do all this with the physical controls of the Xperia Play, offering an even closer facsimile of a big-budget console third-person shooter on a mobile device.

There’s no word yet on an exact date, but Xperia Play owners shouldn’t have to wait too long before getting their hands on this tweaked version of a quality shooter.
