As you may have expected, the Xperia Play was all over the place at GDC 2011 and we had plenty of time to play lots of games on them.

There is a serious lack of any sort of TCG games for Android but it looks like we will be getting a pretty slick looking one very soon.

Alright maybe it isn’t the Ilomilo for Android but there are a lot of similarities when it comes to Cordy and Ilomilo such as the rotating game world and how the 3D graphics look.
