Game Center: Get a Little More "Pew Pew" Out of your iPhone
One of the more major "tentpoles" announced at this morning's Apple event was the Game Center, which will exhibit over 50,000 game and entertainment titles in the App Store. The Game Center will be along the same lines of what PC users have with the Steam client, and Xbox console gamers have with Xbox Live--basically, a huge portal from where to download and install games you want to play, without having to mull through the entire App list.
Additionally, Game Center will focus heavily on the social networking aspects of gaming, like enabling users to challenge friends to games and providing game stats for all to see. Now, everyone will be able to tell who is kicking who's butt at Words with Friends.
The service will be available for everyone later this year.
