Apple's Game Center has been hacked allowing you to submit any score you want for any game you want via the iPhone.

Introducing HackCenter. Available soon on the Cydia store. This hack allows you to send any score that you want to Game Center, and it works with every game. In this example, I show how you can use HackCenter to submit a fake score for Fruit Ninja.

Of course, we don't condone cheating and HackCenter is unlikely to make it onto any official repository but you can watch a video demonstration of the hack below...

Well done, wonder what Apple are gonna do about to combat this lol it can't get any better than this really! It's something like cheating on your exam and saying I don't support cheating!

According to his twitter, he said he won't be releasing it due to the overwhelming negative response. http://iphoneblogr.com/2011/01/hackcenter-a-hack-to-post-fake-scores-in-gamecenter-is-put-to-rest-before-its-even-released/

You may have beaten him by one point by cheating... but I bet you _____ points that he doesn't live in his parents basement, forever alone.
