Head of gaming for Google

Not content with ruling the web, mastering maps and giving us all Gmail accounts, Google is gearing up to take on the world of gaming.

The tech behemoth has appointed a new “developer advocate” for video games, the first time that Google has employed someone for a dedicated games development position. The lucky candidate is Mark DeLoura, previously of the Sony Computer Entertainment America parish. Looks like it’s game on for Google – and, no doubt, the rest of us too.
