Google takes on Apple's Game Center with Google Play Games

About time Game Center got some decent competition in the mobile space, it's a really poor offering by Apple and this type of thing should be doing very well...

At its Android event in San Francisco this morning, Google just announced Google Play Games, a new social gaming app that will go head to head with Apple’s Game Center. The app brings all of your achievements, social connections, and public leaderboards together in one place.


The Play Games platform was first announced at Google I/O back in May, but until now, there wasn’t a dedicated app; you could see your achievements and online leaderboards inside your apps, but there was nothing that brought that all together.

I'd rather they ban games from the app store that advertise where you don't want them to first.
