Rumor alert: FarmVille, Zynga games coming to Google TV

The latest rumor swirling around Google's new project Google TV is that Zynga games, like FarmVille, will be playable through the service.

If you're not familiar with it, Google TV is a software platform that will be built into a variety of TVs, set-top boxes and other devices that will let you beam online content to your big-screen TV.

Even though a Zynga rep says this is just a "rumor," this information seems to makes sense, since Google TV will include the Chrome web browser and support Flash.

We won't have to wait long to find out, however. Google is officially launching the platform on October 17.
