Geekscape Mobile: Google’s ‘Ingress’ Is Now On iOS!

Briefly: I feel like I’ve been waiting for a game like this forever, and as an iOS user, now I can finally play it.

Ingress “transforms the real world into the landscape for a global game of mystery, intrigue, and competition.” You start the game, choose from one of two factions (the Enlightened or the Resistance), and you head off into the real world to discover Portals to hack and defend, items to use agains your enemies, and much more. Yep, this game will get you walking.

This video actually gives a really great representation of the game:

Now, I live in a small city, so it’s not the most action packed area to be playing in, but I spent about 45 minutes with the title, walked a few kilometres, captured my first portal from the resistance, and had a blast.

Android users are probably already playing, but iOS users, you need to give this a download. I could see myself getting really addicted to this one.
