日前，手机社交游戏平台Scoreloop宣布将面向Windows Phone 7手机操作系统开放服务，支持WP7手机用户与Android、iPhone等不同用户在同一平台上进行游戏互动。

scoreloop-WP7

Scoreloop对WP7的认可，对微软来说具有重要的意义，因为该游戏平台每周新增用户高达100万人。游戏邦认为，在上周宣布与诺基亚联姻后，微软在智能手机平台上基本算是站稳了脚跟，现在又与Scoreloop结盟，更将让WP7平台获得强大的市场竞争力。

据游戏邦了解，Scoreloop向开发商提供了一些中间件，支持他们在游戏中添加积分排行榜、挑战模式、虚拟货币等社交元素。通过Scoreloop的软件开发工具包，开发商可以让运行在WP7平台上的游戏用户与Android、Bada、Airplay和iOS平台的Scoreloop用户进行互动和对决。

位于德国慕尼黑的Scoreloop表示，在Scoreloop的这款SDK正式发布之前，他们将为限定名额的开发商提供这项服务。Scoreloop的目标是让社交游戏进入所有手机平台，其竞争对手包括OpenFeint、木瓜移动和DeNA/Ngmoco（游戏邦注：这两者的手机游戏平台目前已合并称为Mobage）。该公司成立于2008年，主要投资者包括Target Partners和Earlybird。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

Score one for Microsoft as Scoreloop backs Windows Phone 7

Scoreloop is announcing today that it will support Windows Phone 7 as part of its cross-platform social gaming ecosystem. That means that developers can create social games that allow Windows Phone 7 users to play against Android or iPhone users.

The endorsement from Scoreloop is an important one for Microsoft, since Scoreloop is adding about a million users a week to its platform. With its deal with Nokia last week, Microsoft just might have a viable platform in smartphones. It also means that gamers will be able to play each other on any platform, anywhere, one of these days.

Scoreloop creates middleware that developers use to add social features to their games such as leaderboards, challenges, or virtual currency. By using Scoreloop’s software development kit, developers can create games that run on Windows Phone 7 and have access to the same social features that users have on Scoreloop’s other platforms. Those platforms include Android, Bada, Airplay and iOS (iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch).

Munich-based Scoreloop will grant early access to a limited number of developers before making the SDK public to all. Marc Gumpinger, says the goal is to extend social games across the entire mobile landscape.  Rivals include OpenFeint, PapayaMobile, and DeNA/Ngmoco.

Scoreloop was founded in 2008. Investors include Target Partners and Earlybird.（source:venturebeat）
