Having broken the news that Facebook Connect was live for iPhone games earlier today, with Tap Tap Revenge 2 and iBowl, we can now reveal another iPhone title using the technology.
UK social games firm Playfish is launching its brain training game Who Has The Biggest Brain? on the App Store with full Facebook Connect functionality.
What that means is players sign in using their Facebook login details, and can then compete against their friends on the social network.
The iPhone version is a premium title, costing £2.99 here in the UK. It was Playfish's first game on Facebook, and has been played by more than 15 million people there, with a current monthly active player base of nearly 4.2 million people.
Playfish has also announced that it's bringing two more of its Facebook games to iPhone and iPod touch by Summer: Word Challenge and Geo Challenge. All three games will be fully optimised for Apple's touchscreen devices.
"The launch of Facebook Connect for iPhone tomorrow is revolutionary for the mobile games industry," Playfish CEO Kristian Segerstrale tells PocketGamer.biz.
Stand by for a full interview with him on his company's plans for iPhone and other mobile platforms.
