    GREE shutting down OpenFeint on December 14

    By

    The amount of social platforms available on iOS is staggering, but few have enjoyed the same kind of ubiquity as OpenFeint. Apple's release of Game Center in 2010 stole much of its thunder, but the plucky service fought the good fight and managed to stay afloat. That is, until now. GREE, who acquired OpenFeint back in April of last year, has informed developers that the service will be shut down on December 14.

    The Game Graph: GREE’s Ethan Fassett on their publishing platform, our mobile future, and the real problem with app discovery

    By

    When Gamezebo founder Joel Brodie and I went to meet with GREE's VP of Product Ethan Fassett at Casual Connect, I was under the impression that we'd be there to talk about the obvious: the "GREE Platform." The mega-dev's publishing platform has just entered open beta, and without sounding too jaded, events like Casual Connect often serve as soapboxes from which to chat about their latest initiatives, per the party line.

    OpenFeint founder’s new company Phoenix Guild raises $1.1M to soar from the ashes of a “post-pc” world

    By anybody's standards, Jason Citron is what you'd called accomplished. As the founder of OpenFeint, he created a mobile gaming network arguably more robust than Apple's proprietary Game Center. Then, he turned around and sold it to mobile-social giant GREE for $104M. Now? He's looking to make some of the best games ever played on mobile, all with a little help from some friends... and investors.

    When it comes to gaming, there are two very distinct markets out there: the East, and the West. In the West, PopCap Games is a household name. Everybody knows the folks behind lovable games like Peggle, Plants vs Zombies and Chuzzle. But in the East? Well… in some parts, PopCap does quite well, but when it comes to Japan, PopCap doesn't have a single self-published game on the market. But that's all about to change with Bejeweled Legend.

    Sid Meier classics get a new social spin courtesy of GREE and 2K

    By

    Can a pirate act civilized? Perhaps, if said pirates are brought within close proximity of civilization. 2K Games and GREE are ready to put that theory to the test, as the two companies are teaming up to bring the Sid Meier's Pirates! And Sid Meier's Civilization franchises to GREE's social mobile platforms.
