Google Games Again: Google Ventures Invests $3-$5 Million in Mobile Games Maker ngmoco

if Google couldn’t make any more investments into the gaming world, their venture capital arm, Google Ventures, has invested a reported $100 million into mobile games maker ngmoco.  This comes soon after their strategic investment into Zynga, their near $200 million acquisition of Slide and recent announcements to hire all kinds of different gaming posts.  The latest investment into ngmoco is slightly different in that it comes from Google Ventures rather than Google itself, but as TechCrunch points out, this probably won’t change much in terms of the new Google-ngmoco relationship: ngmoco will be feeling the pressure to make sure they port their games to Android.

ngmoco is one of the premiere iPhone game developers, and we’ve covered several of their games in the past.
