Since the announcement of Google+, Google’s own social network, there’s been a lot of talk about how the service will integrate games onto its platform.
One of the big draws to Facebook are the social games like Cityville, so Google will likely work on integrating games quickly.
Although nothing has been made “Official”, Engadget recently discovered in the Google+ code the site’s intent to unleash games.
Based on some recent domain registrations by PopCap Games, is it possible one of its more popular games will be the first on Google+? When PopCap ports games to Windows or Mac, it often uses “Deluxe” in the name, so if the company aims to have its games on Google+, will it start using “Plus” in the name?
The day before yesterday, the gaming company registered the domain names: playbejeweledblitzplus.com and playbejeweledblitzplus.net.
