I've been working on a game called Wand Duel where you wave your phone around like a wand to cast spells against another player. It connects to another phone via Bluetooth and tracks health etc. Here is an intro video:
I had some problems with spell detection early on, but I think/hope it is now all ironed out
It is on the Market, so check it out if you are interested -- thanks!
I liked your video, I haven't checked out the app yet though. I think there should be some animations for fire and defense shield as well as ice. Maybe if you had the image of the wand move around as you moved the phone you could suspend a little more disbelief Cool concept!

I'm trying to find a balance between kids with imaginations, and teens/adults looking for a competitive "sport"
I've never really properly got into an optimized game for our phone and found the touchpads terrible. However I've started to pay shadowgun and it is unreal. I'm hooked on it. Feels like a proper game, as if I'm sitting in front of my xbox and the controls are close to perfect. Really gives me hope for the touchpads and proves that they don't have to be hopeless.
By far the best purchase I've made for my play and there's now an expansion pack for it that I noticed but I haven't played it yet, haven't completed the first story.
Definitely worth buying and restoring your faith in the almighty Play!

I agree. It feels like a your playing a console game on the Xperia Play. I'm loving it
Dead Space and Bad Company 2 also have excellent controls. They're also free
Where can I get bad company 2 from? I can't find it on the market

It's definitely nice, but my faith in the Xperia PLAY never really staggered to begin with.
If you'd played Dead Space, you would've known a loooong time ago that the Xperia PLAY touch-pads are a more-than-competent means of control input (and also got a sneak peek at the standards in which Shadowgun worked up to). Even outside that, there's so many other devs that have used the touch-pads perfectly that it pretty much is just Gameloft being typical Gameloft... Lantansia, Halfbrick, TwoHeads, NaturalMotion, Art in Games, Glu Mobile, Angry Mob Games and so many more have already established that the touch-pads can work extremely well with high quality titles.
shadowgun is good, so is fifa 12.

Dead Space is not working with my hardware controls.
Thanks for the heads up though, might check out this game because of the sale.
I purchased Shadowgun yesterday but the came constantly crashes [kicks me out to the home menu after the video sequence], anyone else have this problem?

So, it has swipe analogs ?
I dont realy play games that dont have swipe analogs and this recent sale interests me.

Aralon - Sword & Shadow - optimized for Xperia Play - all info, updates and my .gkp
I'm thinking about Xperia Play touchpad support. Does anyone dowloaded it? I'm not using Amazon, and it's not in Google Play...
http://www.amazon.com/Crescent-Moon...ie=UTF8&qid=1341558213&sr=1-2&keywords=Aralon
[UPDATE]:
For now (06.07.2012) it's NOT optimised for our Plays.....Hope something will change in the future .
[UPDATE]:
After few days of my .gkp file, made with GameKeyboard, I link it here, so you can play Aralon with GK like an optimized game . Cheers guys, regards!
CLICK!
[UPDATE]:
(05.02.2013) Game is now available in Google Play, check this now -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crescentmoongames.aralon
Unfortunately, without Xperia Play optimize.... :[
god exists. oh good lord. FINALLY.
Is it a MMORPG or like Skyrim game?
Like Skyrim - not MMO. That's why I'm happy .
I might be wrong, but wasn't this supposed to run only on tablets?
Any good?

It's saying it's compatible with my R800a :\
EDIT: Runs RIDICULOUSLY smooth on my Xperia Play, it's all touch-screen though... and I can't do anything about it with GameKeyboard either, sadly
Ooh...... must buy it and play it....... this just screams Xperia PLAY! Good find DikeJ....
Wow, the apk is 310mb. Thank you 64GB SDcard.
if they don't optimize it i'll need to flash xdark ics and get my hands on that touchpad mapping app. Just for this one.

I agree with DiKej in his first post - the game runs RIDDICULOUSLY smooth (high for every graphics setting and absolutely no lags at all!) and it's great. Gameloft guys should learn from these guys how to optimize the game. Another good game SCREAMING for Xperia PLAY touchpad support.
In my case 300+MB apk was installing for about 6 minutes (first attempt caused reboot).
Anyone has an e-mail for the developers? Maybe spamming their mailbox with optimization requests will be good strategy, huh?

i email'd the developers about optimization.
Greetings Crescent Moon games. I already played through Aralon on my old iPod Touch more than a year ago, and that was the best iOS game I had ever played. Now I own an Xperia Play and I found out Aralon was released for Android on Amazon. Me, and the whole Xperia Play community, think that optimizing this game for our gamepad (including analog touchpads) would be the absolute best thing ever happened to our phones. That would be a true Elder Scrolls-like experience. I tried using apps like Joystick Center 6 and Game Keyboard with Aralon, but they don't work.
Thanks a lot for your attention.

The response:
Hi there,
Unfortunately we don't have xperia phones here to test it...
I wonder if Sony would give us something
Glad you like it, hope we can support in the future!
Best,

It seems like the only real issue is they don't have phones to test it out. Can we do something about that? Maybe a donation, or emailing sony, or even offer ourselves to test every beta optimized version. I'd do that.
What do you guys think? The game doesn't seem to work with joystick center (the app shuts down when the game runs), and with gamekeyboard (i found out that the circle button actually works but that's it. Strange...)

Hmm... not trying to advertise my site here, but XperiaPlayGamer has a section especially devoted to developers who want to Xperia Play Optimize a game, but don't have a device to test on. It doesn't cover touch-pads but it could get it to a playable state on an essential basis. We could try e-mailing them that?
We *need* to email that to them. I'll take care of it. I also wanted to focus on the gamekeyboard fact about circle button working... i think it has to do with the relationship between the game and apps like that.
edit: he answered "wow thanks!!!" for his iphone. He seems really enthusiastic about this. If they manage to fully optimize this title, the Xperia Play will be on a whole new level, guys.
Love this game, played it to death in the arcade when I was younger. Came out today. I have not played it yet so I cannot tell you if its Xperia PLAY optimized, but I am hoping that since the King of Fighters was optimized (sort of) this will be too.
ENJOY!!!!!

We spotted this earlier great game. Have tested and everything works D-pad and Fire as well as all the menus. The onscreen controls also vanish when press a hardware button. Made by the same people who did R-Type port, Metal slug port and they always seam to remember the PLAY
ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
Blazing Star is one of my favorite games ever! And it's easily the most fun sh'emup I've ever played. You have no idea how long I prayed PSP would get this game (and never did!). Now it's here with achievements?! Getting this immediately!

Since no one really responded with anything back then, I might as well just come back to tell all of you on the fence of getting this, that this game is very well optimized. Good, responsive hardware controls and full-screen resolution for the XP. Plus the soundtrack is awesome! Here's a gameplay vid:

Or at least until until the $1 flex cable breaks, along with the l2/r2 buttons
Good to see that they optimised it anyway.
Great game. It's on sale on Google Play at the moment.
Neodroid is sooo much better to play this 15Yo classic on our phone

Thanks for the vid. This post decided my purchase!!
Still would love a version of Exceed or Touhou, but it wouldnt work well with the portrait orientation. Touch screen shooters are too hard if you have fat fingers!!!!

Mame/Neo/Cps Emulators are great but where is the challange. I like and brought these official ports (metal slug too) for 2 reasons. 1) Bluetooth multiplayer 2) a limit on credits. Where is the challange if you can keep shoving fake credits in, it makes these games too easy because you have no real death. Its like cheating and there is no point in that when you are only cheating yourself out of a good game. With metal slug on Emulator i completed in a hour (fun over). On the official port not even half way in and been playing hours worth. At least with emulators like Snes and PSX you have limits as its built in to the game (Saves states are also bad but still mean you have to get past the place your stuck on dying). I am happy to recommend these ports over the emulated way
Original MVS cartridge are 'free play' at will anyway, but you are right about arcade, nothing can beat the 1coin challenge and bt coop option is the best.
My previous bought of metal slug for android was a disapointment, few option, gallery mode, slowness this one seems better optimized. I think save state is a bless to train yourself in the hardest level without crawling again the whole intro + much more freedom to simply save your progress.
My fingers thank autofire as well. I found vsFighters a bit more difficult compare to the arcade because of the controller, xplay paddle is tiny and snk special moves can be tricky.
As the title says, I'm wondering if there's any way to turn off the auto acceleration when using the Xperia Play buttons. No matter what control scheme I have applied, my car is accelerating without any user input.
It should be possible, because I checked the info screen and it says you can use X to accelerate.
(P.S. If this is in the wrong forum section, go ahead and shout at me.)
Why'd you want that?

I guess it's a matter of preference. Some people might want it and some won't. As for me, I like to hold the X or right shoulder button to accelerate, auto-acceleration just feels so weird when playing.
I remember playing this when I just got the game and I tried to hold R to accelerate, but that just stopped my car, so I tried L and I thought it was accelerate, but I realized I was just wasting my boost.
I don't think there is a way to turn it off actually. X to accel was on Asphalt 6, but Fast Five had no way to turn it off, and A7 is based off of the upgraded engine in Fast Five. Honestly it was a hugely welcome addition as I used to get hand cramps from holding down X the whole time. There really is no reason to not be accelerating all the time in that game.
This is why the fast 5 sucked cause of auto acceleration. I don't get how people like to play a racing game without getting half of the feeling of the game. I was really disappointed with A7. I feel like I'm watching a game play video on YouTube thank god the steering is not auto yet.

The problem is this is an arcade racing game, not only that there is 0 reason to let go of the accelerator at any point, so whats the difference? If I wanted real feel I'd fire up GT5 on my PS3. Or on a phone NFS Shift or Real Racing 2. In this case I'd prefer to avoid the hand cramp and wear on the phone from having to hold down X all the time.
just fyi lol I didn't even know it was on lol been playing it most of the day and been holding x in
