Playphone Games Portal

Verizon is at this year's Gaming Developers Conference in San Francisco, and announced the Playphone Games Portal which will hit Verizon devices in the second quarter. Powered by social gaming network Playphone, it'll compete directly with the Google Play Store and allow Verizon to generate more revenue. What makes the Playphone Games Portal different from Google Play is the ability to interact with friends and purchases. A “friends” page within the application will allow you to see all your friends' game activity and you can easily challenge them to a game, or invite them to games that you play.

As far as what games you'll be able to choose from, there are currently a lot of relatively unknown titles. However, Verizon is hoping to get more developers on-board and by going to the Playphone Games Portal website, you can sign up and download the SDK for free. Games submitted to the Playphone Games Portal will also be published to Google Play which allows game developers to knock two birds out with one stone.
