Social Games Now Playing In Bing
If you use Microsoft's search engine, some games will be playable right in the search results.
Previously, players would need to click over into the Bing Games site to start playing some of the more casual social games that the site offered. Now, players will get access to games like Happy Island as soon as they search for it. The first several levels can be played without having to login through Facebook.
This little nugget of info sure isn't going to change any gamer's life; we'd be surprised if anyone frequenting Game Informer is spending a lot of time on games like Happy Island. However, it's interesting to see the way that browser-based social games are getting increasingly visible to the wider public. Each passing month brings news of the profound success experienced by the emerging field of social games.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
