Sony Ericsson touts Xperia Play multiplayer gaming, promises 50 titles at launch

A gaming phone's not very special without some games to back it up, and Sony Ericsson has thankfully filled in at least a few new details about that part of the equation at its MWC press conference today. That includes a hint of some mobile hotspot-based multiplayer gaming, and a promise of "over 50 titles" that will be available at launch, including Guitar Hero, Assassin's Creed, Dead Space and Reckless Racing. Unfortunately, it's not clear how many of those will actually be exclusive to the Xperia Play as opposed to Android phones in general, and the fact that SE highlighted some extra levels for Reckless Racing as an example of an exclusive isn't exactly all that encouraging. We're guessing there's still plenty more details to come though, so stay tuned.

Update: Head on past the break for a video that gives a glimpse of a few more games.
