Undercover: Location-Based Game
From Hong Kong: "Undercover is a multi-player, multi-platform location-based, action strategy game for mobile devices, which allows players to interact with other agents in distant cities or countries. Tasks and game objectives include a range of activities such as, locating terrorists, attacking the enemy with your choice of weaponry, stealing resources during attacks, buying and selling equipment, completing missions and winning prizes as well as seeking protection in special shelters, to name a few."
Mogi: Second Generation Location-Based Gaming
From Japan: "Mogi is a collecting game - "item hunt". The game provides a data-layer over the city of Tokyo. As you move through the city, if you check a map on your mobile phone screen, you'll see nearby items you can pick up and nearby players you can meet or trade with."
