Return of Pac-Man.

Kind of a cool article in the NY Times, about the use of cell phones and GPS instruments to play a real-life version of Pac-Man on the streets of Manhattan, and other large-scale games played in urban environments. These "big games" take advantage of the overlap between online spaces and the physical world; in essence, putting you into a real-life environment to play a video game. Looks like fun, and an unexpected use of technology.
