BugMeNot got me in, for once. Basically it's this rumour-mongering based on this job post: http://www.google.com/intl/en/jobs/...roduct-manager-games-mountain-view/index.html
They been talking about going against zynga and the other spamgaming companies that make shitty casual games for years, but the fact is that it took them almost 5 years to come up with something to beat facebook, google+ Lively was a fucking disaster, it lost to the dying second life and that POS 3D game for little girls. Lets just say they are waaaaaaay too late to the game, and with the latest most promising google projects ending up killed (wave, health) I have no hope for google games.
