By all reports, Google+ is taking off as people jump into Yet Another Social Network. Yesterday it moved a little closer to Facebook in terms of feature list with the announcement that games are now integrated:
When you’re ready to play, the Games page is waiting—click the games button at the top of your stream. You can see the latest game updates from your circles, browse the invites you’ve received and check out games that people you know have played recently. The Games page is also where your game accomplishments will appear. So you can comfortably share your latest high score—your circles will only see the updates when they’re interested in playing games too.
Regular casual gamers will see some familiar names like Angry Birds and Bejeweled.

I still don't have them on mine. Be interested to see if Bejeweled Blitz integrates with the iPhone version like the Facebook one does.

I like that the games related stuff won't appear in your normal stream.

Checked it out, fantastic the way it doesn't fill up your normal feed with crap instead contains it all to the games section.

I just signed up to Google+ this morning - awesome. Really hope that it takes over from facebook.

One thing though - I couldn't work out how to make a new post on other people's wall?

Yeah, I read about this yesterday, but they weren't not on my Google+ yet. Just checked again and they still aren't there.

Not that I really care, I doubt I'd ever play them, except for maybe a little bit of Angry Birds.

You don't really have a Wall on Google+. If you add a friend's name to the section where you add circles to share with, I'm pretty sure they'll get a notification saying that a post has been specifically shared with them, so it's effectively the same thing as posting on their Wall. That, and or you could just tag them in the post.

Was the same for me yesterday, though has appeared today.

No CivWorld, Spartacus, Jetman or Scrabulous - utterly useless game platform. :P

Some of the games (maybe a lot of them, I dunno, only tried a couple) actually work cross platform, like, its not that theres a facebook version and a google+ version, no matter which platform people are playing it on they're still playing in the same "world" against each other, which I found pretty cool.

Sweet, I was wondering about that. Would be interesting whether they attempt to link login credentials across platform (can't check on phone).
