Ooh, metoo!
I meant to say how impressive I thought it was. Really useful - thanks  
Christy.

Cool, thanks John!

Yes, empty categories are an enticement. They may not all be correct,  
need
more people to add their thoughts. I think a comparison with other  
types of
pervasive games would be interesting too...

That's awesome, Christy. It *does* seem like a good topic for the  
wiki, in
the sense that people who are experts in one game or another will be  
able
to talk about the activities involved in that particular game. I could
help out with moving it to the Wiki if you need some "grunt HTML/Wiki- 
code"
work done. ;)

Though, I have to be honest, I look at that chart and I think "So how  
can I
create a game that fills in some of these empty categories?". Hmmm...
