By Chris Burns
on 20 Jun, 2011

I bet you never thought the day would come - it was just TOO good to be true. The greatest game on Playstation now available on your Playstation Android phone. Turns out they've still not got the game prepared for the system, but we've got you covered - an emulator combination that cannot be beat and the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater working fully well with the Playstation hardware on your Xperia PLAY! Thusly this is a review of how well that emulated game works on the system. Does it add up to be the excellence of mobile Tony Hawk, or is it still a pipe dream for future X-gamers?

Remember back earlier today when a bit of the ol' sale was going on (and may very well still be going on now?) That was the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY for $0.01 at Amazon what we've got here now is another sale for 89 cents more, that being the Xperia PLAY again at Wirefly for a grand total of $0.99, that being also attached to a 2-year contract, but this time with Wirefly Mobile Backup Service Free for Life, plus a $25 Android Market card for games and apps. In this case you're also looking at around $60 a month with Verizon.

The difference between your everyday average Android device playing this racing game and the Xperia PLAY is the ease of use in the controls. Afterburner forward with your index finger!
