With companies like Wooga announcing and games like Crime City spearheading Google’s effort to instill a social gaming platform to their Plus social network, it’s good to see a big name step up and join the initiative. Bioware announced today that its popular Facebook game, Dragon Age Legends, will be coming to Google+. This free-to-play RPG will be among the first titles to be on the budding social network’s platform, which looks to be promising more “hardcore” games and less farm-tending shenanigans.
