Google Introduces Google + Games



Google officially announced on 11 Aug 2011, it would begin introducing Google + games. The games were very expected in the new Google social network from the start, and had been rumored, with some evidence, that would be available soon.

Not all users of Google + have games available. The function will be veering in the coming days for everyone, but some can already play with Google +.

There are 16 games (pictured above) has so far announced Google +. Companies like PopCap, Rovio, and Zynga are the creators. Among the games that I have drawn most attention are: Angry Birds, Zombie Lane and Sudoku.

+ Google introduced a special stream for getting news of the games. This means that updates and notifications will not reach your main stream, but those interested in games can check what happens in a separate stream. What is a big decision in my opinion, by Google +, because if anything annoying games on Facebook, is precisely the number of notifications and invitations you receive from other users.

Google + is taking more shape. Google says this is only the tip of the iceberg for turning your social network into a powerful platform, and considering what can be read out there about Google's plans for Google +, it could be great news for all users.
