Since I got my Xperia Play Ive found myself playing games on it constantly. My Xbox is completely neglected. How often does everyone else play games on their phone (or tablet, or media player if anyone has one of those) compared to consoles?
I love this phone. Buttons are exactly what I needed to love Android gaming, and being a Playstation phone doesnt hurt either, I managed to get Tomba! on my phone tonight and I can barely put it down!

I never game on my phone. I haven't even got any games installed on it ATM. I find most phone games to be far too basic. Stuff like Angry Birds and Doodle Jump entertain me for a few minutes, then I find them so annoying that I wish they were on physical media so I could smash them with a hammer.

Rarely. I have angry birds, doodle jump, fruit ninja and a few tower defense games. I only play while I'm on the train. Once I get a vita, I will not even game a single bit on my phone.

Everyday. But I am not into the stupid little games like the posters above me have listed. I like real games like Dungeon Hunter 2 3D, Shadow Guardian 3D, and Asphalt 6 just to name a few. I do not play it more than I do my PS3 or PC, but I at least get a game or two in every night when in bed before going to sleep. I also play when ever I am not home.

Everyday, but probably 15 minutes to 1 hr at the most. I prefer my PC.

Rarely as I usually need my phone to last me through the day. When I do, it's usually the fun little games. I mostly use my phone for listening to music and browsing the web.

Well I don't have a Android-based phone (yet), I do have a tablet. Even still, I don't do much gaming on it through I enjoy a bit of UNO & Monopoly on it from time-to-time. Sometimes while I'm home or while taking public transportation to and from work.

The Gameloft games, while unoriginal, are usually pretty good timesinks. This phone came with a lot of games on it and having dedicated buttons really made me get into some of them more than I ever have on a phone. Between the Gameloft games, Dungeon Defenders, Crash Bandicoot, Sonic CD, GTA3, Dead Space, the Zenonia games, and emulators (legally of course), I almost dont even have a desire to text anymore.

If this thing gets PSP games when the Vita comes out then my social life is over.

Not very often, but I've been playing more ever since the OnLive app came out.

I really want to get into OnLive, but my connection is too slow. Maybe one day.

At least 20min every day, when I was wating a bus or toileting. Now PVZ, World of Goo, Fruit Ninja, GTA III, Hot Pursuit and some emus.

I only have a handful of games that I actually play. And they don't entertain me very long. I mostly use it as a PDA to keep track of my calendar, contacts, email etc. Also use it for music and videos.

I've been playing Minish Cap nonstop on my phone and when I finally get to the end the rom keeps crashing in a certain spot, Im guessing its because of everything going on in that area, and I cant get past it.

Emulation is such a double edged sword sometimes.

Still, I've been playing at least a couple hours a day lately.

To everyone with a tablet, how are they? Is it just like having a big phone or do they actually feel like another experience entirely? Im somewhat interested in getting one around tax time :P

Something different entirely. Its easy to say that they are stretched out phones until you use one.

I really wanna try one, I need to look into them more. Do you know what is unanimously the best one for your money? The new Tegra 3 one that just got announced looks awesome for $250, but idk if I wanna wait for it to come out. I was looking at a Kindle Fire, need to look at it some more.

If your gonna go with a 7 inch tablet, the new Asus would be a no brainer. There are a lot of options out there for a lot of different budgets.

You're not missing much. It's just like playing a Youtube video.

Are you sure you arent thinking of the viewing app? Because I fail to see how slight input lag makes a game at all like a Youtube video.

I would very rarely play something like AngryBirds or Fruitninja when I`m on the bus.But I would much rather listen to some music or just look outside.

I'm talking about the quality when playing the games. I was a founding member of Onlive and was impressed at the tech but unimpressed with the streaming quality.
