Read an article on it, looks like your normal street scramble game-ified with a digital map and matrix type backstory on your Android.
The long awaited ad dollars into nav sports, or just another fad?

Location-based gaming is a big up-and-coming market, and will stay there.
We have the original location-based game...
But the people won't come to us if they don't know about it.

Looks like fun.
I'm interested in having a go at these device type games in the real world. Just wondering how they will handle any legal ramificatons should anybody come to an unfortunate ending whilst playing. Could happen especially if it gets uber popular which is entirly possible and there's millions playing world wide. People might get a shock that you cant just reset your "life" levels.
As for our own game I wonder how long before our maps are on digital interactive paper that perhaps we old blokes could zoom in to see some of the detail then zoom back out for a broader look. Hope it happens before I'm in a zimmer frame.
