Google+ Amazes their users with Games [Google]

Since then Google releases their new social media platform named Google+, it became a massive success among all users. Google+ is an upcoming social media platform which is combined with all Google products in one same location (such like Youtube, Picasa, Buzz…etc).

Google+ has quietly amassed over 25 million users, and industry watchers suspected that Google would launch a Games service soon to compete with Facebook, which has developed an online platform for social gaming with Zynga and others. Zynga is part of the Google+ Games service, with Zynga Poker. Afterward Google added a fifth tab to its icons at the top of Google+, which looks vaguely like the electronic game “Simon”.

In all, Google has added ten games to the services, all apparently free to play at the moment. (According to a blog post by Vic Gundotra, vice president of engineering, twelve are available, but only ten showed up in my browser as “featured games”).

When a user select a game, Google+ will go through a process it needs permission to do so, then spells out what it wants. In the case of Dragon Age Legends, it asks for the following permissions:

– View basic information about your account

– View your email address

– View a list of people from your circles, ordered based on your interactions with them across Google
