RIM has announced that it will be doing its own version of Apple’s Game Center that will be called Games. The company is hoping that its secure platform will be appealing to developers when they launch BlackBerry 10.
Games will be a standalone app that acts as a social hub and a discovery tool, with BlackBerry Messenger and the Scoreloop social gaming network integrated, allowing users to add friends who can see what they’re playing, and show achievements and offer challenges. Multiplayer gaming support, both synchronous and asynchronous, is also planned.
