Photos: iGoogle gets its game on

At a party in San Francisco Wednesday night, Google unveiled the latest addition to its iGoogle start page service: a collection of themes designed by video game publishers. As pictured, Google offers a directory of the new gaming themes.

Like others produced through the iGoogle themes API, the new ones will change throughout the day.

Marissa Mayer, Google's vice president of search products and user experience (far left), announced the gaming themes as part of this week's Game Developers Conference. Here, she chats with game industry personalities.

Attendees who won at arcade games got to turn in their tickets for iGoogle swag like these ping pong ball rings and Rubik's Cubes.

New game releases could be played inside of Obscura Digital's media dome, just not using the projector that put images up on its giant, rounded screen.
