Would be actually useful and awesome if also the save data would be transferred to gc, so if you delete a game you still have all your savegames.
Because he posts a negative comment about something in iOS, you have suspicions he's an all out "Apple hater"
.Guys, stop seeing the world as black or white. You can like Apple products without liking 100% of everything Apple. Shades of grey.
Come on apple - you just added a ugly game center on front page of my iPhone - i cant remove it. First Ping not this waist!
The app itself may not be too pretty, but the concept is awesome. With a little tweaking, this will be great..
What surprised me is that Game Center installed itself not in the first empty space like most apps, but instead forced itself onto my main screen, displacing the apps I had there. :/
I got all excited for this GameCentre last night, eagerly installed and realised I had no friends and no games!
It led me to look at other game-networks, +Plus for Godfinger etc and the biggest OpenFient seem to be well made and on a lot of games.
What incentive do app-devs have now to switch? OF seem to be well placed and offer a good cross-user experience?

Only here can we get excuses for not being able to communicate with the people you plan on playing games with (especially the ones you don't know, say like the folks here).
Bottom line is Game Center (Game Kit) needs a messaging interface built in. At this point it feels like Game Center is even worse than PSN was when it launched. Maybe Apple should make it mandatory (like XBL) and require a minimum feature set usage (say achievements, cross game invites, and in game messaging like XBL).
Wait, how does e-mail not make you able to communicate with people you plan on playing games with ?
YAMI (Yet Another Messaging Interface). Seriously. Consolidated messaging, in the form of god damn E-mail, has been around for decades. 1 e-mail address, all messages in the same inbox, 1 app to check.
Am I really the only one here that's getting tired of all the messaging clients I need to have up and running in case someone needs to send me something ?
What exactly do you think is wrong with e-mail to do what the guy proposes ?
I agree. Risk is by far my favourite board game and I would by it for iPhone if it was made in a proper way.
The problem with email is I need to know his email address. Game Center doesn't provide an email address. So if the person I want to chat with didn't give me their email, I have no way of communicating with them.Wait, how does e-mail not make you able to communicate with people you plan on playing games with ?

Game Center itself would then need to give out peoples email addresses. Which it currently doesn't.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you used these "social networks" to interact with people you didn't know. Carry on then.
(Personally, I don't add "friends" that aren't actually friends. And I have an e-mail contact for all my friends).
Oh, my real friends get a hold of me via email. But even on systems like PSN and XBL I may play games with ppl I don't know. Sometimes I add them to my friends list to be able to play those games with again. At some point I will probably purge my friends list and just keep the ppl I know, but it is kinda fun seeing what others are playing (even if I don't know them).
I am not the devjust passing the info:
Fun and FREE casual gameit's name says it all. A tilting game. There are ads (written in japonese) but only in the local leaderboards ("Ranking") and NOT in Game Center and not in the playing field of course.

Who of the MR members beats Habakuk on HARD (world rank #4 with 111,78 seconds for now)?
The difficulty is well balanced although for me personally "Easy" is well, a bit too easy so I let it go deliberately at 500 seconds (all time world rank #11 for now). But normal and hard are pretty good challenges. Try it!
Game Center works rock solid and fast so far. Just "Last Games Played" doesn't work here.

Game Center
Hi Guys
First of all, apologies for putting my website address in my post yesterday!
Secondly, i feel Game Center has the potential to be huge, and with ongoing development it could eclipse any similar social gaming by far. If this can be develped to a point where Apple is in 'the living room' it could spell the end of Playstation or Xbox??
What do you think?

I don't think it is going to eclipse XBL. PSN hasn't even managed to do that yet. If there is only one thing MS is good at it is the online community aspect of XBL. Somehow they have managed to get it right (if you discount the fee).
Please Apple...let us decide!
I agree with this poster. iPhone memory is too expensive to have to clutter it up with anything a user considers unnecessary. It's our device and as long as it does not pose some kind of security issue, we should be allowed to remove what we wish!
