Ingress
The coolest mobile game out there right now, still closed beta, but rumours are that invites will be flowing a bit more freely in the next few days.
Anyone else play? Or even heard of it?
Has already spawned numerous real-life meetings, an ARG, an official ebook and got thousands of people wandering round capturing stuff...

The game itself it pretty ordinary but the strategy and communities around it are pretty amazing.
Whether its meeting 12 other agents for an adhoc lunchtime farming session, or plotting city-wide fields over several weeks - co-ordinating with hundreds of other agents over a wide area all whilst trying to keep the plans away from the enemy, or just having cross-faction beer nights.... and I believe the extra walking might have lost me a few pounds

(I still spend far more time on this than any other game, mobile or otherwise. Have met lots of cool people and spent far too much time discussing strategy and planning big ops. Great fun!)
I don’t know if you still have any invites but please could i have one if you have a spare? I’m a massive mobile gamer, so i’m Intrigued to see what it’s about.
Thanks
sure, just PM me your email address (you'll need an Android device for now, iOS version coming later in the year apparently)
I’ve sent my email address over.
Thanks
It's a pretty cool game but eats heavily on battery life.
I've just been invited to my first meet. No sure yet whether to go or not.
Don't expect a wide cross section of society (yet) but sure, meet up, the best ops come from teaming up.
Also both players and non-players should check out the weekly 'ingress report', an official news round up. Very swish.

What do I do now?:) Downloaded the game. I understand what our English friend said!
I never heard of it until you posted about it. I will try the game as it looks thrilling to meet Resistance or Enlightened people where I am located.
Someone did it? How can that possibly happen?
Have you seen the new glyph hacking medal that went live last Friday? Need 6000 for a gold, I'm up to 474 points already, so may be getting my gold required for lvl 11 in 3 months rather than 9
