If reports from a variety of gaming sites around the world, including IGN, are to be believed, then Google is planning on launching a social-gaming service. 

The speculation comes after it was revealed that Google invested between $100 million and $200 million into Zynga – a casual game developer responsible for the likes of Farmville, Mafia Wars and loads more.

Zynga is estimated to have raked in $350 million in the first half of this year.
