Honestly, I've been a little behind in my exploration of Google+ the last few weeks. This afternoon I had some time to kill and noticed a button on Google+ I hadn't previously noticed. And when clicking it, I found it threw me right into their 'Games' section.
Looks like they have definitely gotten the clue from Facebook that people want to play games. I have played around with some of the games on Facebook and I haven't found anything there that warrants special attention from me. If I have a little downtime I may play a round or two of Tetris on Facebook. But that's about it. And I have yet to start getting any of the spammy game requests from people in my Circles on Google+. Which tells me that the people I'm following aren't playing that many games either.
Did Google jump into the social game sector a little late? Maybe, after all I have noticed a huge drop in Farmville Requests from my Facebook Friends. And I know many people who no longer play Farmville because they felt burned out. Doing something in your free time should never give you that 'burned out' feeling. After all, that's why it's called free time. So do you think games will help populate Google+?
Their offerings are somewhat slim right now. With the following games being offered up:
Personally, Google will need to bring in more games/talent to catch anyone's eye for this to become a reason for people to spend more time on Google+. However, this is just the starter games being offered there are more games on the horizon.
