Google packs-new gaming features





Google took a big step over the weekend to address problems with in-game
 purchases, but that's not all that the company has in store for game
developers this week.

As the annual Game Developers Conference kicks off at the Moscone Center in
San Francisco, Google has announced several improvements to Play Games on Monday
 that the company says will take several weeks to become available.

Game Gifts, a new feature, will let players send virtual in-game objects to anyone
 in their Google+ Circles or through player search, just as in other social-media-driven
 games.


The Play Games app will add support for multiplayer game invites, and the Google Play
 Store is adding 18 new game categories for faster game search.
