gamecenter

This time Apple decided to add its Game Center to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion that is expected to be unveiled this summer. Game Center for Mac will even replicate the user interface of the existing Game Center offerings for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. So, now users will be able to play online competitively and cooperatively against gamers who have the same title for iOS.

  • By logging in with an Apple ID, users can add friends and keep track of their played games in Game Center.
  • Multiplayer games can be initiated with someone added to a friends list, or even with new players randomly matched up.
  • Game Center in Mountain Lion also features leaderboards, so gamers can compare their high scores to friends and other top players around the world.
