So google released this new augmented reality type game for android. The game "world" is the real world, it uses the phones GPS to tell where you are. Essentially there is a good and evil side and you battle for control over area's, eventually leading to the games end.

Anyways, if anyone is interested.

Game website and beta signup (its FREE) - http://www.nianticproject.com/ and http://www.ingress.com/
