[GDC 09] Google has put together an event at the end of the first day of the GDC09 Expo to launch themes for iGoogle based on everyone’s favorites: video games. There are classics, but plus more recent games. My personal favorite is Namco’s Galaga. Customization is not really hard to do – what was hard was to get the license owners to agree to that. Check out the photo gallery, you will see some themes and some photos of the event in SF.

Among the guests: The Producer of Street Fighter (Capcom), a Senior VP of Electronic Arts and the co-founder of Red Octane games (Guitar Hero). The event was hosted by Marissa Mayer, a Google VP.

We blogged that live on live.ubergizmo.com a few hours ago. Live feed and twitter.
