THE BUZZ: Cloud gaming service OnLive has updated its android app to support the Xperia Play.

Almost all OnLive titles can now be played via the device, making it the first mobile to be capable of playing console quality games. ”From the moment we launched our OnLive Android app, gamers began asking about Sony Ericsson Xperia Play game control support,” said Steve Perlman, CEO of OnLive. ”Now Xperia Play gamers in the U.S. and UK can play almost all of OnLive’s 200 premium titles, including hit AAA games like Saints Row: The Third and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, on their Xperia Play smartphone with a full console-class experience, including multiplayer and social features.”

EGM’s TAKE: This move marks a major step towards OnLive’s dream of becoming the number one platform. How many companies can boast being able to provide a full console experience on a mobile device?
