Today is an awesome new step for Barry Steakfries, hero of time and slayer of zombies! We have now released our awesome Age of Zombies, voted Best Playstation Mini of 2010, to the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Play!

This release includes all of the zombie-blasting action found in the current smartphone versions, but is an absolute dream to control with the Playstation Certified controls, including the two touch-sensitive thumbpads. As a dual-stick shooter, AOZ fits the Xperia controls perfecly and is a prime example on how to use the new hardware to its best abilities. We’ve put together a handy preview video above to show you a little bit about the Xperia Play and how AOZ works in action.

AOZ is currently available on the Android Market as an exclusive to Xperia Play, which means at this time it won’t function with other Android smartphones. However, in just a few short weeks we will have the full game up and running on the market on as many devices as possible, so stay tuned for all the latest AOZ news!

Age of Zombies includes the full story mode spanning five worlds with multiple levels, as well as Survival mode with global leaderboards for high score junkies.
