Exclusive from 360iDev: OpenFeint 2.1 released, over 200 games in App Store
This afternoon I had the opportunity to talk to Jason Citron and Eros Resmini of Aurora Feint, the company behind the OpenFeint social gaming platform. At 360iDev, Aurora Feint announced the availability of OpenFeint 2.1 to the developers on hand, as well as touting that over 200 active games using OpenFeint are now on sale in the App Store.Citron noted that there are about 500 indie developers, like those in attendance at 360iDev in Denver this week, who are working on other gaming titles using the OpenFeint platform. OpenFeint 2.1 is available immediately for download at www.openfeint.com, and information on the open and free business model for the platform is on the site as well.
OpenFeint is being used in some of the top games in the App Store right now, including geoDefense Swarm (which debuted at #2 when it launched), Rope 'n Fly 2 (currently in the top 50), and Apple featured games Unify and Above & Beyond. The platform provides a way for developers to add social gaming elements to their work without reinventing the wheel, as standard APIs are used instead.
TUAW will have more news from 360iDev tomorrow, so stay tuned!

I like ngmoco's Plus+ Network better, but I don't think it is open for any developer to use without applying for it. Hopefully it will grow more.

I love OF. I have 12 OF games and like the point system. Symbolism is currently the best game I know of using the platform...with Pocket God a close second.

plus+ has the quality, and OF has the quantity. OF seems to crash my apps a lot though.
