MjolnirX - For whatever reason, EA Games decided to port the mobile version of Dead Space to Blackberry's Playbook. I'm not exactly sure the market or demand for games necessarily even exists on the Playbook, but that remains to be seen. I see this as more of a rare feature for the Playbook, as opposed to attempting to start a new market for core games on Blackberry's app store.
As for the Xperia Play, the so called "ROM King", I would consider this too little, too late. The phone is almost 6 months old now, has pretty much no new games since launch aside from this one (and even the launch games are laughable). It is relying mostly on Android games with dedicated controls built-in specifically for the Xperia Play (like Pocket Legends). Having considered this phone and having been lied to by Rogers, who told me that you can purchase any and all PSP games on it, as well as the type and speed of the RAM and Processor, I'm not exactly enthused with its release.
I'm not too sure that either device, being in their own niche away from the popularity of Android mobile phones, and Apple's iPad, should really be considered for gaming. The effort put into porting them is time that could have been better spent elsewhere.
The games will release at the $10 price point.
