Love them or hate them, games are coming to Google+. We’ve heard rumors of this for a while, but some new code buried on the site has confirmed it.
A lot of people are enjoying the break from the Facebook games while on Google+, so Google will want to be careful about how they’re implemented. While they’ll obviously want to make them as engaging and social as possible, many users on Facebook are feeling over-gamed.
The screenshot above indicates a separate “Games stream”, which sounds like a good solution. Keep our main streams clean of that stuff, and have it all contained in the games stream. Of course, over-eager game publishers will likely try to litter our primary streams with game updates, so hopefully Google will be able to keep it contained.
What do you think? Does an idea like a separate “games stream” sound good?

I absolutely hope that they keep the games contained in a separate realm. I was hoping that google+ would be a gameless place to just stay in touch.
