Have you wondered whether there is any games you can play on google. Although the search engine folks don't have a gaming center similar to Yahoo Games, you can still play some games. Here is a list of some games.
Pacman. Pacman is a Doodle game released on 21 May 2010 to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the arcade game Pacman. Click on "Insert coin" and Pacman can be played on the logo which has the words Google on the Pacman maze. Click on "Insert Coin" again and a second player is added allowing 2 players to play at once. The first player plays using the arrow keys and the second player uses the w,a,s,d keys on the keyboard.
Image Labeler. Image Labeler is a game based on image search. Two players will be shown the same set of random images over a 2 minute period. They will be asked to provide as many labels as possible to describe each image they see. When the player's label matches the partner's label, both will earn points and move on to the next image until time runs out. After the 2 minute time period expires, the game is over. The user can see the user name of the partner for the first time, their score for the game (with which both are credited) and their individual cumulative score to date. These are compared to the daily high scores for teams and the all time individual high scores. After time expires, the players can explore the images they have seen and the websites where those images were found. The idea behind the game is that if two people come up with the same label, it is probably a good one and will make image search better.
Google Fight. It is a game that allows users to compare the number of search results returned for two given queries. Type in two words and Google Fight will calculate the winner. Two animated stick figures fight on screen after the queries are entered, and then an animated bar graph appears showing the results.
Image Quiz. Image Quiz is a game where 14 images are shown from Image Search and the player has to guess the query which returned these images. You have three chances to guess the correct query before the answer is shown.
Gwigle. Gwigle is a game that asks you to guess the query by looking at the search results. The number of question marks is the number of characters in the query. There are 16 levels with increasing level of difficulty. Queries from Images, Maps and Calculator are also shown. Tips are also given to help solve the game.
Geoquake Driving Simulator. Want to take a drive in your favourite city without leaving your home? Try Geoquake Driving a game using maps. Search for a place and then you can try the 2D Driving or the 3D Driving starting from that place.
Books Game. The 10 Days in Books Game was a contest conducted between July 27 2009 to August 5 2009. It consisted of 5 questions per day, each day with a different theme. The answers can be found by using Books.
Place Spotting. Are you an expert in geography? Then try Place Spotting, a game based on maps. Search and find the 'zoomed in' place shown in the maps and you have solved the puzzle. There are more than 26000 quizzes to solve. The success rate among players is approximately 11%.
