pac manhattan
some folks at ITP in NYC have developed a mobile game based on Pac-Man called Pac-Manhattan. Seems nice and polished -- would love to play and see how well it works. I think the best thing about it is the costumes...
UPDATE:
Ok, this isn't that cool... thought they were using GPS+wifi - turns out it's a total hack. Hacks aren't inherently bad, but this hack (having to stay on the phone the phone time) seems like it would demolish any fun the game might have provided.

Looks like this was done in Frank Lantz's class. Frank is a really interesting game designer, one of the people responsible for the "Big Urban Game" that we looked at in 564. Check it out here: http://design.umn.edu/go/project/TCDC03.2.BUG
