Not played it yet but Modern Combat 2 :Black Pegasus is only £1 on gameloft's site at the moment (well lots of HD games) not sure if its a world wide sale and only shows up if browsing from device not computer
worth a try with £3.25 off!

sweet thanks for the heads up. Do you think we will be able to use the controls like the stock games use. I would really like to use the dpads and physicall buttons instead of on the screen

of the gameloft games out now have been written with the plays controls in mind so yes u will be able to play with the control pad

I have brothers in arms, modern combat, and N.O.V.A.2.
Nova2 is by far the best of the 3. the aiming with the right analog stickis a lot smoother, which takes a lot of the frustration out of the experience.

Nova2 is also available for £1 atm via their store. Seems that for the past month over here in the UK the store has had the games for £1.

Yea it's awesome.
I bought 5 or 6 games for £1.
Currently loving Spiderman

of the FPS available NOVA 2 is definitely the one to go with.
The Spiderman and Splinter Cell games are quite fun also.
I haven't gotten around to Backstab and Avatar just yet because I want to finish the 5-6 games I've got on there already.

Rainbow six, best game so far!

Best xperia play game yet! Heck on any phone, just bc of the controls.

Awsome thanks for the heads up i bought it straight away lol

Bought! Works great with the control pad. One of the best games I've played so far in my play. And only $2.50 that's cheap!

Just downloaded and played for about 5 mins. Amazing. Graphics are awesome and the control is sweet. Best game on PLAY so far.
Reminds me a little bit of the Dreamcast game "Guts of Rage" I think it was called. So gory.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Looks great, plays great and is silky smooth.
Puts to shame other developers who charge a relative fortune for stuff that isn't half as good as this.

bought it,pretty sweet game but is there any use of the right touch pad or triggers?

Already played it loads on the iphone 4 months back, runs good on the play too and runs at 60fps! one of the best looking mobile games to date.

Yeah, this game is pretty good. Fairly inexpensive, optimized to take advantage of the Play's buttons. I enjoy it quite a bit. I couldn't imagine doing this with the touch screen. It would be so unintuitive and I would constantly get in my field of view due to large fingers.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this game and would recommend it to any person that likes action games, provided they can withstand a little cartoony gore. (Beheadings, Sliced in half laterally, sliced in half vertically, lots of blood from kills which does fade away).

Great game, looks really nice with those cartoony graphics and the controls work really well.

Its the control pad, but is uses up for nitro and down for brake rather than the buttons. I've not had chance to see it you can change the control scheme yet

Ouch ya, 8 bucks. Hmm I will have to do the trial and see if it is worth it.
Over the past week I got 3 gameloft games (normally $6 each) for $3 total haha so its tough to pay $8 for 1 game unless its REALLY worth it lol.

True but NFS Shift "HD" (the version that works with the XPlay controls) is $9.99 in the Android Market, so $8 doesn't sound ridiculous based on that.

difference between gameloft and ea is that ea make decent unbuggy games that are worth £5, gameloft games are worth £1 at most imo! I'm glad ea are supporting the x play! Gameloft really annoy me these days, lack of support and updates!

Been playing this on the Play and it is MUCH better than the iphone 4 version (I had it), graphics are much improved and look really good (one of the best looking games on the Play now?), it runs totally smooth and the steering is actually good thanks to the gamepad!
Only odd thing is the nitro/brake being on dpad/analog up and down, these should be on the buttons.
It also has both the cop and racer career unlike the early iphone version!
Superb game, best offering from EA Mobile yet!

+1 i bought it last night. If you get used to the braking/nitro is actually a really good racer. If it had better controls. I would turn auto accerate off and play it like a proper game lol

I got the game, the controls are pretty bad...
However the left and right buttons are on a low sensitivity by default, i maxed the it out and now it plays a bit better

Had a try of the demo and I do like this game, controls are certainly strange, not sure what EA were thinking when they did them but otherwise it`s a good game.
Might be tempted to buy it, would be more tempted if they fix the odd control setup.

Maybe if we all email EA asking for an update with an option for user defined controls. We might get lucky

EA Surprised me with their responsiveness.
I emailed them about my issue with NFS Shift (that there are 2 versions and the older one doesn't work with the XPlay control pad) and an issue I have with the Sims 3 and they replied back (albeit after 3 weeks) with 2 codes for me to download NFS Shift HD and any other EA game of my choice for free from www.eamobile.com
The problem? eamobile.com doesn't recognize the Xperia Play so it gives me an error "there are no games for your device" . Also wise to point out the Flexion store thats linked above is technically Europe only. NFS HP would cost me 5 GBP plus the exchange rate (a total of about $8) plus my bastard credit card company charges a $11.99 fee every month you use it for foreign exchange. Another thing that sucks about eamobile.com? Dead Space and NFS HP aren't even out yet.
As for the game I played the 1 hour demo last night and once I got used to the controls they weren't that bad. Its a little annoying to have to use the touch screen for the menus when you're used to games just using the controls. But the graphics are flawless and the overall presentation of the game is amazing. I enjoyed it but not enough to spend almost $20 to get it, I'll wait till its out here and hopefully I can use my free game code on it.

Modern Combat 3 update seems to improve controls!

MC3 had an update yesterday.
The good:
The PLAY controls seem to work better, especially aiming, is WAY better.
The bad:
It crashed and rebooted my phone twice while loading a mission.

I updated and it told me to install an additional 761 MB ?!
The game already takes 1 GB !

Yes I had to download that as well. It doesn't necessarily mean its additional, more than likely the download is to update the 1gb of files you already downloaded, so the updated ones are overwritten.

Is this through the market or the gameloft store? Says my version 1.0.0 from the wapshop is up to date :-\
Any chance that it make the game suck up less phone storage?

I find aiming quite easy using the touch pads, although they took a bit of getting used to. The only thing hard is spinning around.
Maybe they should add a button to do a 90/180 degree turn

Atleast i know that i shouldnt even consider buying gamelofts products, only good game they have is asphalt 6.

I agree, Asphalt using the D-Pad is great. Touchpads on that game are a little weird to use though, but who would on a Racing game?
With regards to the MC3 update, this has made my game lag more, when the games not lagging the right thumb pad is a bit more responsive. I had previously got away with using the screen to move and the right thumb pad to aim (less control lag when only one digit on the touchpad, that way...) however the update removes the on-screen controls when you have the PS controls open, so this is no longer a possibility.
Gameloft, sort this out! Not that you would in the slightest be looking at an Xda forum for feedback

Yeah, asphalt tickles just that right spot that burnout revenge does maybe not as greatly but quite alot.
And i even got asphalt 6 for free.
But if update does remove on-screen controls... Im not gonna update, i would have wanted to try MP just out of curiosity but doubtfully i will ever get a chance.

Modern Combat 5 release date announced

And just like that GL has announced release date for Modern Combat 5. July 24th

It states the release date is for iOS and android
Here's to hoping its XPO.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Might be XPO, but if it does, it will be unplayable on Xplays. Asphalt 8 and Gangstar Vegas are both XPO and almost unplayable and even worse without support on Google Play. We really need Xperia Play 2. Nobody wants Vita even for that low price which it's solt now (that was the only reason why not make Xplay 2). Nowadays almost all people have smart phone and playing games, in 2011 there were significantly less people with smartphone and lot of people didn't know what smartphone is. Sony could make Xplay 2 compatible with Xplay1, support for PS1, PS2, PSP and even PSVita games. Games from PS1 could cost about 1-5$, PS2 and PSP games about 5-10. If they made great advertising and gave this phone HDMI/Widi capable, can you imagine what success could it be?

Totally, they have missed an opportunity to release next version of XP

The buttons are perfectly mapped on the nVidia Shield. They seriously took great care to make this game awesome on this device. Graphics are top notch, which is surprising considering that it's running on the same engine as MC4.

It's nice that Shield can run this game and it have its controller mapping (playing this on Shield must be like playing on Vita) but that doesn't mean it will run with gamepad on Xplay. There are some games which have MOGA support and don't Xplay support. And cause of it runs on MC4 engine (which is fluid on Xplay) I want to know if it has support for Xperia Play controls and how does it run?

The game crashes when you are supposed to begin playing it... It's the ram probably, I tried it on my hyper gamer rom, i will se if i can get it working if edit the rom or something, if not kitkat is our only hope left.

Just because the game engine is the same, and MC4 ran on the Xplay doesn't mean that MC5 will. They've added a bunch of shader and lighting effects that are intended to push the barrier on modern hardware. It would be a wast of time trying to get this game to run on the Xperia Play, even if it didn't crash it would be a slideshow.

And there are no settings for lowering graphics? Asphlat 8 and Gangstar Vegas both of them look impressive on max, but on Xplay run only on very low.
