Hi,
I’m trying to find a solution to integrate leaderboards and achievements into my game for the Win 8 store and WP8 platforms. For iOS I am using Game Center, so I’d love to find something that had it’s own UI as well so that I wouldn’t have to build one just for these platforms. Any suggestions out there for what to use? I’d be open to trying out a native plugin as well since there’s pretty good documentation on how to connect with native Win8/WP8 plugins from unity.

In Windows space there is nothing immediately obvious, though there are options.
There is one I’ve decided to implement a couple of days ago. It’s called Scoreoid and it’s very easy to use. I got it all my posting/retrieving/displaying done in a couple of days. It will work with ANY platform. Multiple leaderboards can be achieved by utilising the difficulty or platform parameter.
Achievements can be done but you don’t create them within your account. I believe that when you create a player, this ‘player’ can hold achievements and you utilise the fields to hold your data. I’m not putting achievements (yet) into my game but that was my impression of how that would work.
The hard part was writing all GUI code to display retrieved data and that was more boring than hard. Anyway that’s my shout.
@DarJam, thanks! Yes, that’s what I’ve been finding with Windows platforms, there’s nothing out there that actually has UI built in like iOS/Android.
