Saw a good amount of hype about this game and decided to try it out for 10 minutes on an old iPhone 3g. My conclusion: if this isn't a complete hit, some future game of its kind will be.

You're basically a secret agent, walking real streets, but only in your head. The dramatization is excellent, and it's an odd experience to have a voice over guy reacting to your actual location as you walk around. Very clever, kinda creepy. Adventurous gamer types will love this.

I could see future games focusing on the exercise aspect of the "real world" experience - imagine a gamer getting an in-game reward for taking a hike. Lots of room for cool ideas with this game type.

Yuen:  Shut down the servers supporting the app  Coordinate with Ken and get the app off the store. Take every site that mentions it down. FIX THIS. Zeke:  We could request that it be taken out of the store and shut down the servers. but that could generate controversy and attention. and this operation would largely come to a standstill. Yuen:  so what do you recommend we do? Zeke:  For now. Nothing. Yuen:  that doenst seem like a course of action. Zeke:  It is difficult to set a course in uncharted waters. Yuen:  are you mocking me??? Zeke:  no. I'm exercising caution.  We must make our next move very, very carefully. #nianticproject   #ingress
