If you’re the proud owner of an HTC smartphone, you can enjoy a free PlayStation Mobile game every week until the end of February. The offer is available to those in select countries with a handset running Sense 4+, and the first free game is Cubixx, a reinvention of the classic action-puzzle game Qix.

I think it’s great that Sony has chosen to certify third-party Android handsets for PlayStation Mobile; the Japanese company could quite easily have made the gaming service exclusive to its own Xperia devices. And this morning it has welcomed another three HTC handsets to the PlayStation Mobile family, doubling the total number of HTC devices that are supported by the service.

If you happen to have a Playstation Certified Android device then you’ll be happy to know that Sony’s Playstation Mobile (formerly known as Playstation Suite) is now live. Playstation Mobile aims to bring the “best of gaming on mobile devices,” but a quick glance at the suite’s launching titles is less than impressive.

At today’s Gamescon in Germany, Sony announced its plans to bring more games and more devices to Playstation Mobile (aka Playstation Suite). Only two new manufacturers were mentioned, but when they uttered the name “ASUS,” the hair on the back of my neck stood up. Could it be? Could the amazing, wallet friendly, powerhouse Nexus 7 gain the title “Playstation Certified”?

It turns out February’s rumors were true and HTC will indeed be getting the Playstation Suite, however, it will be called the Playstation Mobile thanks to a Sony rebranding. Sony announced the rebranding along with the HTC partnership today at E3.
