After reading this I gave them a go. I used to be a serious gamer but am happy to play this diluted for-the-masses stuff to while away my time. I really wanted to like the zombie one but you run out of energy *so* quickly. One new action every 5 mins is painful it really is. And then the only way is to *pay* for it. Even crops don't provide a return on investment to make it worth it much. Yet you did NOT mention that it tries to suck out (real) money from you in your review. There are plenty of decent free games on the web so this sucks - if they want to compete with facebook and farmville, google should have just coughed up to make the game free - this is *not* endearing me to g+ at all....

@Noli, your post is really interesting.

With Google handling almost everything, including payment, making financial mistakes/errors is all-to-possible and easy.

On an Android phone, using Market, only 2 clicks are needed for actual real money to leave one's bank. Sounds like G+ will pursue a similar strategy.

Making it too easy for money to be spent may not be such a sensible strategy for encouraging longer-term loyalty in consumers.

Exactly, well I guess they're in it for the money but paying a lot of money for a simpleton game is a business model I don't understood. It's just preying on the mum and dad g+ users who would normally never seek out a game. I mean this is what you *can* get for free with no hassle:
