I would like to add a global leaderboard for my games score.

Would you recommend Game Center or OpenFeint for implementing this?

What is needed to setup a global leaderboard? Is the server hosted by the service?

Thanks

Use both networks if you can! I know many users, who prefer one of them and hate the other.

As far as I know has Openfeint built in GameCenter integration. Giving the user the chance to use both gives you the best of both worlds.

Game Center definitely.

It's officially supported by Apple so it's really well integrated into the sdk and there's no guarantee Apple will not prohibit all third-party game networks at some point in the future.

The servers are hosted by the service (for Game Center at least)

  • Thanks. I already implemented OpenFeint and it works really well. I dont think apple would prohibit OpenFeint with such a huge user base and already implemented games. Who knows. :P – some_id Jan 22 '11 at 17:26

One important difference between the two is that OpenFeint has Android support. That is something to consider if you are multiplatform.
