Tencent is has also updated WeChat's Chinese sibling 'Weixin'. The Weixin brings in a whole new strategy of including a Game Centre to the cross platform messaging App.  Looks like the Chinese major has a nice monetization policy ahead of it.  It has also released a Game called Tian Tian Ai Xiao Chu for the Weixin version of the application. You can get the Chinese versions for Android, iOS, BlackBerry (old), BlackBerry 10, Nokia S60 (all versions) and Windows Phone here.
