Social Gaming Comes to iPhone

It’s been over seventy-two hours since Apple announced their new OS 4 and plenty of information has been flowing through the tubes of the internet about the new features that will be included when it launches this summer. Developers have been toying around with the new system but one major aspect, an aspect that iPhone toting gamers will find more intriguing than setting your iPhone’s background to a picture of Kratos, is Game Center. Essentially, Game Center is a social network for your iPhone games that includes leaderboards, matchmaking and achievements to earn. Unfortunately, Steve decided to skimp on the Game Center details at the keynote and focused more on the rest of his…tent poles? Here’s what we know about the upcoming Xbox Live…er…Game Center so far.

Mirror’s Edge Leaps Onto iPhone (Trailer)

What a coincidence. Just this morning I was tweeting in hope of a Mirror’s Edge themed Canabalt title for the iPhone. A couple hours later and EA drop the first trailer for my handheld fantasy – who said Christmas doesn’t come early? Being such a huge fan of the original, I feel like I’ve been waiting forever for details on a sequel. Dead Space got one, they’re practically brother and sister goddammit!
Getting back to the topic at hand the trailer below looks amazing and will be available next month, as in January 2010. The parkour looks gorgeous in a 2.5D environment and for those who didn’t fancy the first person view from the original, you no longer have an excuse. Not many details are available as of yet, stay tuned for more information and hit the jump for the trailer.
