GRcade

iOS, from v4.1, includes Game Center (like Xbox Live, but for iOS4 devices).

So here's a thread where we can list our usernames so we can create "friends lists", discuss Game Center achievements etc, and notify each other about games that have received Game Center updates.

And yes, that spelling of "Center" irritates me, but it's the official name.

Best if everyone sticks to their PSN/Live names so you're easier to recognise.

If someone could post some spiffy screens, on which I can base my decision on whether to upgrade, that'd be great.

What would you like screen of? The Game Center itself or HDR stuff?

Update to iOS 4.1 by hooking your device up to iTunes.

Game Center is only for 3GS and up

My username is leehunter

I switched user accounts whilst doing the update .
iFucked up. Phone crash, now in recovery mode trying to restore to factory settings. I'm waiting to see if this means I've lost all my photos and vids.

My nickname/tag/whatever is Jay Mysterio

um... i don't actually seem to have any Game Centre games. What ones are there?

As for games, I think only Ms Pac-Man supports Game Center at the moment. More will surely be added soon though.

And what exactly is the wisdom behind it being 3GS and up only?

Game center alerts: Sound off.

That's better.

Yeah, I do that for most of my apps that have push notification. Otherwise I keep thinking I've got a text or a call. I get my phone out in the middle of a meeting, then have to cover up the fact that my soy beans need harvesting.
