If your introduction to social networking involved MySpace or Facebook, then you may struggle to imagine services like that existing without games such as MafiaWars or FarmVille — and you also probably won't be surprised to hear that games may be coming to Google+ as well.
The folks at SlashGear spotted a Google+ help page with a casual reference to something called the "Games Stream" which — when combined with confirmation that third-party developers will be welcome on Google+ — leaves us thinking that it won't be long before we start getting tagged in various Google+ game requests.
Of course — as SlashDot's Chris Davies points out — it is also possible that the plan is to use Google+ "to pull in Android game results, turning the site into an online leaderboard of sorts" instead of torturing us with yet another bunch of web-based games.
No matter which way things go though, we're rather glad to see that Google is choosing to offer a separate "Games Stream." This makes us optimistic that even if Google+ is infiltrated by games, they'll stay out of sight and away from our main content streams.
