Google is getting in the game. The Internet search giant is putting its assets into play by introducing AdSense for Games.

Google announced in its official blog that the company has built ad technology, an extension of its AdSense program, for games played within a user's browser. Now it's looking to expand its publisher network.

"As a beta user of AdSense for Games, you can display video ads, image ads, or text ads within your online games to earn revenue," said Google's Ryan Hayward.
