OpenFeint has been working full steam ahead when it comes to adding new features to their social tools that developers can use in their games. This new announcement, however, isn’t so much of a tool for them to use in their games as it is for them to get exposure for their games.
Originally only available on iOS, it was actually quite successful in terms of helping with game discovery. Now OpenFeint has brought their Game Channel over to Android to do exactly the same thing, help developers get their games discovered by Android gamers.
