Games for Google +: Finally Google Announced !



Google has announced a big move toward mainstream adoption today, integrating Web-based games within the brand new social network. "We want to make playing games online just as fun, and just as meaningful, as playing in real life," the announcement says. Titles include Angry Birds, Bejeweled Blitz, Zynga Poker and Sudoku. Google has launched a new Google Plus Platform Blog to help
 encourage more.

According to Google Plus Blog

Today we’re adding games to Google+. With the Google+ project, we want to bring the nuance and richness of real-life sharing to the web. But sharing is about more than just conversations. The experiences we have together are just as important to our relationships. We want to make playing games online just as fun, and just as meaningful, as playing in real life.

That means giving you control over when you see games, how you play them and with whom you share your experiences. Games in Google+ are there when you want them and gone when you don’t.

Game On Between Google Plus and Facebook

Games are an important feature for a social network that wants to compete with Facebook for users' attention, not to mention its gaming business. "There is terrific potential for games on Google Plus," Billy Pidgeon, a game analyst at M2 Research, told VentureBeat games specialist Dean Takahashi in a report on developer anticipation of games on Google Plus two weeks ago.

"Opening up gaming on other social networks gives other publishers more opportunity to compete outside the Zynga-Facebook matrix, and can also help Zynga escape dependence on Facebook."

Takahashi wrote that he spoke to a number of game developers who were confident that Games on Plus would launch soon and that it "would change the game industry" when it does.
