You may remember last week we reported on a charity auction on eBay for a limited edition Xperia Play that was sporting a Minecraft skin. If you missed out on your chance to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the custom Xperia Play, now you have a chance to win one from Sony Ericsson.
It’s Monday morning and it’s that time again for another episode of Android Gaming News. In this episode our friend AndroidAtNight goes over the past week of gaming news for Android but unlike other weeks we have a double shot of AGN episodes coming to you today.
Gamecon 2011 has just gotten under way and what better way to start it off than by bringing all you Minecraft fans who own an Xperia Play some awesome news. Minecraft: Pocket Edition is now available for the Xperia Play on the Android Market. Feel free to lose your minds now.
We are not exactly sure on how many of these Mojang plan to sell and as of right now there is only one listed on eBay. What device are we talking about? It is a limited edition Minecraft themed Xperia Play that Mojang is selling on eBay right now and currently has 41 bids on it.
We have been checking out a game called MineBuilder for awhile now which is essentially a Minecraft-style game that is actually very similar to actual Minecraft. This game has been out for about 2 months and through quite a few updates MineBuilder has come a long way from it’s inception.
We all know Minecraft is coming to Android and a few of us lucky people have had the opportunity to play it already although in a more raw beta version. As the time draws closed for the Pocket Edition of Minecraft to come out on Android, Sony Ericsson has released a little teaser video. When we say little, we mean little.
We tend to cover all things Minecraft here at DroidGamers from time to time since it will be available for the Xperia Play. It will also be available for all Android devices roughly a month after the Xperia Play exclusive time frame. Markus Persson, Head Mojang man, has released a couple of screenshots of the Endermen, the new creepy mob coming to Minecraft.
More information is slowly coming to light regarding Minecraft and the Xperia Play. The creator of Minecraft, Mark Persson, sat down and talked to IGN about the future of Minecraft and during the conversation he narrowed down the release time for the Xperia Play version to this fall.
One of the first things we did the moment E3 started was head over to the Sony Ericsson booth to get a hands-on with Minecraft (and numerous other games) on the Xperia Play. After playing around with it for awhile, we came to realize one thing. If you already like Minecraft, you will be in trouble.
Gameloft have apparently been busy the last few months as word on the internet is that they plan to unveil more games at E3 2011 which will, yet again, be temporarily exclusive to the Xperia Play. This means that these games for one month will only be available to that device. After that it will be made available to others.
