  "You know what they say: game designers do it better outdoors. OK, maybe that's not quite right. But game players, put down your controllers and blink into the light. There are stories on the streets, and the game is to find them." Krotoski celebrates the charms of pervasive gaming. Some of the comments to this piece are telling; people bemoaning the fact that these games seem to be popular only in areas with lots of web geeks hanging out. I guess that means the games need to get a broader appeal.
