Xperia Play Gets a Global Gaming Boost

Due soon from Pixelbite is Reckless Racing 2, with new cars, tracks and, presumably, lots of unsafe racing to enjoy.







Meanwhile, Japan is getting the Xperia Play this week, and new owners are starting to see some fruit on the PSN store with a bunch of PS One titles headed their way, some of which will be familiar to western audiences:



Kurushi (Intelligent Qube), Kula World, Devil Dice, Philosoma
