Google Launching In-Game Ads Service

Sweden — 

Google is said to launch a game-focused advertising initiative later this month, to test the terrain for in-game ads.

As part of this test, Google is going to embed 15-second, “video-type” pre-roll and mid-roll ads in some of Bunchball’s casual games. Bunchball in recent months has started offering casual games as Facebook apps.
