Game Center for iPhone hands-on (photos)

The individual game pages for Game Center-compatible games offer clean links for achievements, high scores, and play invites where applicable.

Each user's profile page greets them first when launching Game Center. There's also room for a status update, but no picture, avatar, or deeper profile support yet.

Achievements are very reminiscent of the experience on Xbox Live. Pregenerated lists of achievements are given relative scores and unlock with play as badges of honor.

The list of Game Center-compatible titles is currently short, but it's bound to get larger very soon.

Thankfully, Apple links to a mobile App Store listing of Game Center-ready games, updated as the list grows.
