Play games against other people<br />

Play against anyone in the world in Google Games<br />

Gaming on mobile devices is not a new<br />

idea, but being able to play against friends<br />

who are not in your vicinity or people you<br />

do not know anywhere in the world is.<br />

Google has created a system that will work<br />

seamlessly with your <strong>Samsung</strong> device and<br />

one which brings millions of people together<br />

in a variety of ways. Despite the wide-ranging<br />

nature of this gaming service, you still have<br />

full control over what games you want to play<br />

and how your information is displayed online.<br />

You can choose to just play with friends or<br />

you can ask the service to find you opponents<br />

from around the world. All of this offers an<br />

extra edge to your gaming and we all know<br />

that playing against a human will always<br />

be more satisfying than against a phone or<br />

tablet. There are achievements available to<br />

give you a target and potentially this could<br />

spur you on to try even harder if your friends<br />

are posting better scores than you. The<br />

entire set up will drag you in quite deep and<br />

potentially turn your phone or tablet into the<br />

best portable gaming device you can buy.<br />

Google Games Play against anyone online in real time<br />

1: Open Play Games<br />

Tap the Games icon to be presented with the<br />

main screen. This will show players who you<br />

may know, a list of games you have played<br />

and will also recommend games to download<br />

and play. The social element is also covered<br />

with friend recommendations at the bottom.<br />

2: Choose a game<br />

Go to the Featured Games section and<br />

choose a game that you would like to play.<br />

Tap it and you will be taken through the<br />

standard installation process to install it on<br />

your device. When completed, it will show in<br />

Play Games ready for you to play.<br />

3: The description<br />

When you select a game a description will<br />

be shown detailing its multiplayer attributes.<br />

In our example we have chosen a game with<br />

Realtime Multiplayer capabilities. This is the<br />

type of description you will need to see if you<br />

want to play online.<br />

4: Check the conditions<br />

When you start the game a series of<br />

conditions will pop up for you to accept. You<br />

need to decide if you are happy with them<br />

and you also get to choose if your gaming<br />

activity is shown publicly or only to you. Once<br />

you are happy, tap play.<br />

5: Time to play<br />

You can now enjoy multiplayer gaming<br />

from your <strong>Samsung</strong>. There are options to<br />

choose opponents you know who are online<br />

or you can select the ‘Auto-pick’ option<br />

to play against a random opponent. The<br />

performance is flawless in most games.<br />
