Google+ is keep going... but still trying to find its place in the social media. But the fledgling social network isn’t totally pointless. If endlessly adding contacts to ‘Circles’ or having ‘Hangouts’ with friends has lost its shiny-new-social-network luster then ‘Games’ should be your next port of call.
Google+ has its fair share of addictive, must-play games which should keep people revisiting. Games occupy a dedicated section of Google+, so its time to know who is best...
My favorite one Angry Birds surely needs no introduction. This is the casual game that has become nothing short of a phenomenon. It’s available everywhere – smartphones and tablets of all flavors, Google Chrome, games consoles, and now Google+. We have already seen sequels, and there is merchandise galore available to purchase, all sporting the Angry Birds characters.
How to win: Keep restarting the level until the first bird does the maximum amount of damage. Tweak the angles of attack by the smallest of margins.

Angry Birds
My favorite one Angry Birds surely needs no introduction. This is the casual game that has become nothing short of a phenomenon. It’s available everywhere – smartphones and tablets of all flavors, Google Chrome, games consoles, and now Google+. We have already seen sequels, and there is merchandise galore available to purchase, all sporting the Angry Birds characters.
How to win: Keep restarting the level until the first bird does the maximum amount of damage. Tweak the angles of attack by the smallest of margins.
2. Zynga Poker
Zynga Poker is a great option if you love online poker but don’t want to gamble with real money. You start small and slowly work your way up to the big-money tables, and because it’s all virtual cash there is no chance of you being left hungry and homeless after going all-in one too many times.
How to win: Start small, placing minimum bets and only going big when you’re sure you’ll win the hand. And don’t take it too seriously.
3. Flood-It!
Flood-It! will be the holy grail for those who value simplicity in their social games. This is a pure puzzle game: deceptively simple yet fiendishly difficult to beat, and frustrating and addictive in equal measure. The first time you play it you’ll probably ask yourself “is that it?” – but you’ll play again. Until you beat the game and hopefully best all your friends’ scores.
How to win: Try to influence the largest number of tiles possible with each turn. And aim to reach the bottom right-hand corner as soon as possible.
Collapse! Blast
Collapse! Blast is another simple yet highly addictive game. A wall of colored tiles builds from the ground up. You have to score as many points as you can in the time allotted by destroying as much of the wall as possible. Huge bonuses are on offer for clearing the board completely.
How to win: Use the space bar to add more tiles quickly. Make use of the bombs which occasionally appear.
Uno Boost
Uno Boost is the online version of the hugely-popular real-life card game. There are a series of AI opponents to battle against, each getting harder to beat as you progress through the ranks. This is a game for those who possess a highly competitive streak.
How to win: Try to plan ahead, a little like chess. Also save your ‘Color’ cards as long as possible as they can prove invaluable in the dying moments of a game.
