I'm trying to play a game that I just bought that uses the Game Center on OS X Mountain Lion. This is the first time I have a game that uses the Game Center. I'm able to log in with my Apple ID. It asks me to set up my Game Center account. I choose create a nickname and I check the tick-boxes if I want want my profile public or not and to add my contacts. After I click continue I get a window that says saving but it never saves, never gives an error message. How do I get this to work?

If you open the Game Center app, at the bottom of the Games tab there is a "Find Game Center Games" button:
Which goes to this page which has a list of Game Center games (there are currently only 8).
Also, some apps on the App Store will mention in their description that they have Game Center support. And you can see some games are featured with text saying they've been updated to support Game Center:
First of all, make sure you have added your systems knows about your Apple ID (go to System Preferences -> Users & Groups -> Your User -> Apple ID).
Then launch Chess; obviously you'll need to have an internet connection.
After a short wait (a second or two in my case, might depend on your internet connection), a badge like the following should appear in the Chess window:
After it appears, you should simply be able to go to Game -> New... and select GameCenter Match in Players.

I was having the exact same problem. I was picking my true nickname (lizzie) and it just kept spinning and spinning and never would save. So, I decided to try a nickname I KNEW no one would have (my name spelled backwards). It saved immediately. Maybe your nickname is too common? Try something truly unique. Hope that works for you.
