Apple has aired yet another "if you don't have an iPhone" commercial, this time focusing on Game Center (or as Rene might call it, App Store part deux). It highlights Scrabble and Infinity Blade, and the challenging and multiplayer features of Game Center.
Official Apple video after the break. What do you think?

Apple airs new commercial - If you don't have an iPhone, you don't have Game Center
Why can the "computer player" take from anywhere in their discard piles such as the top or bottom of the pile but we cant. not right
Very wonderful site thank you so much for your time in writing the posts for all of us to learn about.
The final game featured in this commercial is Star Battalion, it's on sale for $0.99 right now:

When I jailbroke, one of the first things I did was to hide the gamecenter icon. Obnoxious for them to force us to have this lame app on our phones. But problem solved ;)
i like your story too much
What is the last game played i need the name?
I love my iPhone. Believe it or not, I actually run into a person from time to time who act like they never heard of the iPhone. Where are these people living, in a cave or something?
What is that flying game in the commercial ? Is it a star wars game ?
I want to know what game it is too
What game is being played at the end of the commercial?
Looks cool...?!? Or is it?
I don't understand these whole new "if you don't have an iPhone" Ads. Like ofcourse you won't have Gamecenter if you don't have an iPhone. it's an iOS thing! Let alone, it's not only on iPhone, but it's on iPod and iPad too. Same think with iBooks. These new Ads are rediculous.
Just one more commercial to drive the android fan boys nuts.. Personally I could careless about an android commercial but they cant stand to watch an iPhone commercial..
Never used Game Center. Don't intend to. Yet I have games on my iPhone. Go figure.
Meanwhile, do we ever expect Apple to produce an ad for the iPhone centering on, y'know, its use as a phone?
I have purchased 5 iphones in the last 4 years. I currently own 3 iPhone 3G models.
What is this "GameCenter" of which you speak?
lol wow. gamecenter needs so much work. everything apple does is pretty good but its hard to keep a straight face with this. I'm mostly frustrated haha.
The last bit is so pompous - well apple, you just don't have playstation certified games.! iphone can't do that!
Game center absolutely stinks. I can't get the thing to send or receive friend requests even to other devices in my house. My wife and I both have iPhones and I cant add her as a friend. Nor can she add me. When we try to send friend requests they are never received. Ditto with my daughter's touch. When I send to her or her to me the requests are never delivered. Game center is a crock. Feint is much better.

What is that multiplayer game they used?
I almost never touch Game Center, it's a nice feature but it's kinda useless.
I like Game Center. I tend to use it from time to time, but it does lack some much needed functionality. It's a cool app with great potential, but is just not quite there yet. Cool commercial though.
game center on the ipod touch it tries popping open every time i want to play angry birds. its a pain i find useless myself..."Bruce says:

Yeah I can barely afford my groceries and gas. So not I cant afford an iPhone and I find these commercials a bit ’snooty’. Maybe these commercials should say ‘If you dont have an iPhone yet.’ "
very true for alot of people bruce sorry to hear it and hang in there, ipod touch's are much more affordable if you get one at amazon and if you dont mind 12 month subsciption to audibles for $14.95 a month the skinny of it is this: sign up for audibles and they send you a code within 24 hours for $100 off anything at amazon, goto ipod touch 4th generation page pick 8 gig model. select prime trial free for one month and get free 2nd day shipping or $3.99 overnight... bottom line ipod touch 4th gen 8 gig for $108 overnighted or $104 second day... people need toys too ;-)
These commercials are arrogant and lame.
Big, Fat, MEH!
I have game center and hardly EVER touch it.
Is it just me or does Infinity Blade look better in the commercial than on my phone? It looks like the whole video went thru an "HDR" process or something.
It's not just you. Infinity Blade is grossly overrated as well. It is sooo repetative and dull it's not even funny. Yes it runs well and looks good for a phone game but overall it's not that great.
Ummm yeah... Infinity Blade does looks like that on my iPhone 4! If it doesn't on yours... something's definitely wrong, dude!

Forget Game Center. It is mostly good for taking up space on my iPad's screen of icons...and more icons.
Have had my iPad for a few months now and can't say that game center has made any sort of difference to me when gaming.
they are holding it worng :D
That's all good and well but Game Center is a hot mess IMO. The "theme" of the app is horrendous and the tones they chose for it are childish. Yes playing multiplayer with people is fun but that is all it has going for it.
This is exactly the commercial they needed, but they need to make game center easier to challenge friends and different task. Even add an instant messanger to it.
This commercial is alright. I personally like the iPod one better.
they made game center look awesome. my friend gets mad at this commercial...because he doesnt have an iphone
GameCenter sucks imo if they added features from OpenFeint it would be good and I wish there was chat!!
