Plus+, an “Xbox Live” for iPhone
Coming tomorrow, a fresh new service called Plus+ will arrive on the App Store to be one of the first major services to really take advantage of what iPhone OS 3.0 has to offer. It’s being hailed as a sort of Xbox Live for the iPhone.
But what does that mean exactly? It’s a social gaming service. Essentially Plus+ is a platform that enables players to set up their own profiles, add friends, records, game histories, and challenges across multiple games. It’s been developed by Ngmoco, the same guys behind StarDefense and Rolando.
In fact, Star Defense will be one of the first games to be featured, though the platform will be open to other developers and publishers to take advantage of. And soon enough Plus+ will tap into Facebook and Twitter (because let’s face it — who doesn’t tap into those anymore?)
The service itself will be completely free, so we are looking forward to using Plus+ soon to see how it will work out.
