The November issue of Wired has an interesting article about wireless services, in which they talk about an original game being played with cell phones in Europe. BotFighters has over 5,000 Europeans running around trying to "kill" other players. They locate each other through their cell phones. If the player happens across a certain location, the cell phone will alert the player that he has acquired a new tool - a first aid kit, a gun, etc. Telia of Sweden has produced the game, and charges players $.16 a call - the average player racks up about $10 worth of play a month.
