So you've got a console, probably a smart phone and maybe even a gaming-quality PC. Sure are a lot of options for gaming nowadays, huh? But one major player has been mysteriously absent from the game scene, which brings us to Google's recent reveal of the, yet ඣanother place where you can buy and download various new games and apps. The service just went live this week so there's not a massive deluge of content just yet, but c'mon, it's Google. There'll be a shitload of stuff in no time, including all kinds of ch༺eap (or free) games thatwill hopefully have more meat than a typical iPhone or Android app.

So🧜 there's yet another way to buy cheap games - why does it matter? First off, if Google's backing it, expect developers to take notice. Second, companies like Pop Cap and EA are already prepping content for the service; the former has already posted, and EA is on board with Poppit,, Lords of Ultima and a handful of its sports licenses.

to see for yourself. I've been cli𝄹cking around for a while and so far have run into several app🍌s not working or downloading properly, but uh, it's only been up for one day, right?
