Google has made 16 games avaialble for its new soial network Google+, including Angry Birds and Bejewelled. In a promotional move aimed squarely at Facebook’s own gaming services, for a limited time Google is only taking a 5% commission from each developer’s ad revenue, compared to Facebook’s 30%. Google has yet to decide what the final commission will be. Google debuted its social networking site in June, signing up more than over 25 million users since launch.

The company said it would offer 16 games from third party developers on Google+, including Zynga Poker, Bejeweled and Angry Birds. Fifteen of these games were made in Flash while one was made in HTML 5.
Users playing the games on the Google+ social network won’t see their gaming progress appear in the main stream of their activity feed, but those interested can navigate to the Games tab and check out what their friends have been up to.
The Games tab started rolling out to users on August 11 and will be available to all users in the coming days.
