Not content to merely enter the development portion of our precious video game supply chain, Google is getting into distribution and advertising.

The corporate supergiant already sells music through its YouTube service, and they plan to add video games as well. Videos will come with links to Amazon.com so you can immediately impulse buy any game whose video impresses you.

Google AdSense is also being expanded so that flash games will be able query remote ad servers at designated points during gameplay. You may not see interstitials right away, but don’t be surprised if small underfunded indie games occasionally need to take a short break for a cool, refreshing Coke.
