Introduction

Mobile games are social and becoming more integrated into our social lives every day. Game Center and Game Kit are Apple’s answers to integrating social aspects into iOS games, making it easier than it has ever been before to add items like leaderboards, achievements, multiplayer, and voice chat. Social network integration exists on everything from cars to refrigerators, and adding Twitter and Facebook support to an iOS game has become just about a requirement. Airplay and game controllers may be the next great leap forward in mobile gaming, if history has taught us anything; those that are a step ahead of the future are positioned for success.
