Sick of all the arguments over who can kick who’s ass at Spore or Super Monkey Ball? Well Apple’s new patent application may end this argument once and for all.
The patent application appears to allow the manufacturer to track high scores and perhaps even allocate prizes to victorious parties on the iPhone’s forthcoming games, great if your actually great at the games, but talkers prepare to grab your tongues.
While the patent ostensibly deals with syncing games between iTunes and iPhones/iPods there are allusions made to a central community game server:
“The media purchase system can also be utilized to facilitate a community of game players. These game players acquire games via a client device and media management application, and then play the games on portable electronic devices. The game play data, including game performance data for specific games, can be transfered from the portable electronic devices to the client devices. The client devices can then transfer such game play data over the data network to a game community server. For example, the game performance data can pertain to a high score that a user achieved while playing the game on the portable electronic device.”
