The new Games option will show up above the Streams. Click on it will take users to a different ‘Games’ page which will allow users to play online.
Google+ Games Features
The ‘Games’ feature will rest as a separate page and hence all the updates should be relegated to that page. I guess this is different from games on Facebook which end up updating achievements on the ‘wall’ and can upset a lot of friends who are not at all interested in playing these games.
The new games on offer will obviously impact Facebook or at least throws a direct challenge to them. One of the main reasons why people spend a lot of time on Facebook are games like Farmville and Mafia which had active followers in their millions.
Angry Birds already has a Chrome app and now seems to be closer to Google by making an appearance on Google+. It might also give some of these games the social element which was missing previously.
The feature on Google+ will be rolled out soon, if you have it available do drop in your views about Google+ Games.

Google plus copying from features from facebook.
@Techno: I do not think this is copying – unless they copied the code or something. You can have rights to a process, content or a product but not a concept like having games on a social network.
Waiting for it to become available. Thanks for the post.
Now this is the real combat…lets see how facebook reacts 🙂
Waiting to be active! Thanks for info..
