We all knew it was going to happen eventually, just not how. According to some very likely rumors, Google has invested somewhere between $100 and $200 million dollars in Zynga, the creator of Mafia Wars and Farmville. These two gigantic games will serve as the foundation for Google Games (or whatever they choose to call it) later this year.
Just as we expect from Google, this is an intelligent decision. Farmville alone is supposed to have around a hundred million users already. Laying out that sort of groundwork is good for them, but what does this mean for hardcore gamers? Nothing yet. We'll have to see when Google Games becomes a reality, but I expect they'll stick with social media based games.
