In all the excitement of GDC 2010, somehow I managed to miss the fairly important announcement that social gaming network Scoreloop had hooked up with MySpace to integrate its SDK with that of the social website.
This is part of MySpaces wider shift from music to gaming, with the new MySpace Games area being a launchpad for social and mobile/iPhone gaming.
The result enables cross-platform competition across all the platforms Scoreloop supports, such as iPhone, iPad and Android, in terms of sharing high scores, achievements, challenges and buddy lists.

Were the official partner for MySpace for everything involving mobile gaming, explains Scoreloop CEO Marc Gumpinger.
All MySpace game developers who are interested in mobile come to us and we can offer them the Scoreloop SDK, which as well as being integrated with the MySpace SDK [equivalent to Facebook Connect] offers more features in terms of how we interact with the social graph.
Indeed, more that this, as Scoreloops supports Facebook, developers effectively get access to two of the largest social web networks out-of-the-box.
Were already seeing a number of developers coming to us. Its pretty interesting because it fits into our strategy of helping developers.
"Thats what Scoreloop is all about. We have a dedicated team to help on integration and they are already working with developers in terms of MySpace games integration, Gumpinger says.
