By Samit Sarkar on May 16, 2013 05.16.13

Google will shut down the Games section of Google Plus on June 30 to make way for Google Play game services, the company announced yesterday.

Rovio gradually introducing accounts to sync gameplay across all devices

By Alexa Ray Corriea on May 07, 2013 05.07.13

Developer Rovio is gradually introducing Rovio Accounts, a service that will allow players to sync and save their games across multiple devices, the company revealed on the official Rovio blog. With a Rovio Account, players can store their game progress in the cloud while playing on one device and pick up where they left off on another.

"Our fans have been asking for a way to play their game on different phones or tablets without losing their progress when changing the device," the company said in a statement. "This is exactly what Rovio...
