I pretty much agree with the article.  If more games support it or some new, better games are released with Game Center support then it seems like a great service.  Especially with regular updates from Apple which are sure to come.  Just not into the whole idea of re-playing all my games again for the sole purpose of getting achievements.

Not a bad deal always dig an Achievement system, just an added bonus to Apple. Do hope they add an all future games clause just to reign in some of the other Trophy system's that are out there like openfeignt and to unify them under one roof.

The lack of social media integration is really going to hurt this compared to the existing services already in place in many games. Poor choice.

Looks like a good first effort, but who knows how much it will really catch on.

I haven't tried this out yet, but alternatives such as Openfeint are doing such a great job already that this seems like a bit of a "me too" move by Apple. If it somehow integrates with the existing services it will be great though.

Glad to see this.  I have low expectations, for now, but given Apple's track record I do think they will continue to make improvements as time goes on.  This will keep getting better (unlike the sad Wii online situation), and so getting it out the door was a good first step.

It's been two days and only two games worth mentioning support this. maybe the worst feature release from apple so far :/

 " You can launch games right out of the Game Center app, meaning you could always shove all of your games onto the last page of your phone in folders that you'll never have to sift through."
 
Yeah this is very handy, and god do I love to be 'validated' by achievements in every aspect of my life, my  tombstone will just be a URL to my GB profile.

They should support Cave's shooters instead. Those games are tight!

The number of app updates with gamecenter leaderboards  keeps going up. The system is a little bare bones compared to Xbox live but I think it’s a nice start.

hope it gets updated cuz every time i open it, it crashes me router

seems unfinished to me. why the rush apple? scared of a sony psp-android? do they know something we dont? Next week is TGS, justr saying.

On Game Center as Ziploc

Needs some work, but looking forward to using it.

Can't wait, getting a new touch Monday.

Nice to see that achievement systems are growing on all platforms, really adds a lot to a game regardless of the achievements being very easy or very hard.

If Apple were decent programmers, they could make this work for any of their iOS devices like any normal games platform owner.

While i don't use apple products i'm glad they are finally getting games.

So far this looks promising, just need the number of games with this integration to catch up.

So this is the game center app everyone is talking about >_> I thought they were talking about the one that gamefly had come out a long time ago >_> 
 
8 letter word of the day : Wackiest 

Hope more games get updated this week, I have a few but more games need updating ASAP.

Too bad it's not available on the 1st gen iPod Touch. It would have been fun to give it a try.

I feel Game Center is a good start by Apple, but they still have a long way to go as a few things are missing especially on the developer side of things. 

Damn it. Got rid of my bricked 3G (since OS4) and got an Android. Ah well no Flight Control cheevos for me
