Llama posted on PinStack about a very interesting new location/proximity based game that is going on in NYC. You simply visit www.mobiledead.com from your berry and install their application/game. The game is pretty cool letting you interact with your environment and other users while exploring New York. Since I live and work in Manhattan this could be fun! I am definitely trying it out tomorrow. Let me know if you do!
From the description:
Mobile Dead is a zombie-themed location-based game for your mobile phone. The game uses mapping to show where you are in proximity to the undead (your friends and others nearby that we find through GPS or cell tower triangulation).
Interact with your environment and other users. Explore your neighborhood to find items like health packs or weapons. Challenge friends who are close by to a fight or just meet for some beer and brains.
Mobile Dead is a persistent game, changing constantly based on the actions of you and your friends. It can run in the background, allowing you to interact with your environment (automatically picking up items, “bumping” other players). Every day is different in Mobile Dead.
Watch for special in-game messages giving clues about hidden stickers throughout the city. Check the Zombie Journal for top-ranking zombie stats and what’s going on in the Mobile Dead community.
Enjoy the game and we’ll see you in Mobile Dead.
Thanks Tashanna for sending this one in!

When will this be available for other Cities? I’m in Dallas and this sounds like fun.

If you want to try a truely global gps game try Virtualpunk. It’s a mmorpg game for GPS enabled phones. It got monsters, loot, NPCs and quests. And you can play it all over the globe! =)
