  • Star Battalion by Gameloft
  • Madden NFL 11 by Electronic Arts
  • Tower Bloxx : My City by Digital Chocolate
  • Crash Bandicoot by SCEA/Naughty Dog/Universal
Some of those are exclusive, but the press release did not say which ones. There are 150 games optimized for  the Xperia Play, including Minecraft Pocket Edition, so you will have plenty of choice what to play if you get the gaming-minded Xperia.
Speaking of which, starting 18 September you would be able to snag a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play 4G from AT&T brick and mortar and online stores for $49.99 on a 2-year contract you get an exclusive color, a multimedia dock and 7 pre loaded games.
