I hadn't heard about OpenFeint before. I'll check the OF enabled games out - thanks! No, Plus+ doesn't allow you to post your progress on social sites. Hi Scott.

Most notable app would have to be Mingore, amongst my circle of friends. Does Plus+ connect to Twitter or Facebook to post in-game progression? OpenFeint features this. I think it's a great concept to include in iPhone games. The only problem, having to subscribe to many services that accomplish the same task. It's too bad there isn't one standard API for game developers to use to handle this, but I guess that would diminish competition and creativity. It’s the same concept as OpenFeint.

This is fun :D That giant Charadium sounds excellent. The app is fun and I've played the quick game a few times, but sadly there's one or two idiots around that like to be abusive. Other members report and kick them from the room, but it doesn't seem very obvious how to do that. Be great if we could get a few players around at one time and have a game in our own room.

Currently in the middle of downloading Charadium, so we must play against each other sometime Sam. :-) My name on it is hihiitschris. Charadium is cool, because we had a place around here that had giant computers at every table, where you placed your order and played fun games while you waited, and it had a similar sort of game which was a lot of fun. Sadly that place is closed and I've missed that game so much, so it will be great to have it back! This looks so much fun!

Yeah, the interface is excellent. In a couple of days I've gone from Rookie to Experienced - I was determined to get my ranking up there! I just love the competitive side of it. I've also added another couple of Plus+ games to my iPhone: Topple 2 and Train Conductor which is BRILL-IANT! It's good to know that aswell as progressing through a game you're also gaining points which makes everything feel more worthwhile. I definitely hope more games get into this because it gives you more of an incentive to actually finish a game. Hey Tom! Yeah, the interface is excellent.

It's basically Xbox Live for the iPhone. I imagine a lot of developers will sign up to it as it takes the hassle away from them having to write their own multiplayer system. I'd like to note that the interface is very well done, sleek and sexy, just how I like it. The Awards add a competitive streak to proceedings, much is the same way Achievements and Trophies do on the 360 and PS3 respectively. I've got a feeling this is gonna be biiiig (just hope they don't start charging in the future) This is a very very good idea. It’s basically Xbox Live for the iPhone.
