Ever since 1999, I’ve been predicting that the first app for “location-based” services would be crazy little games — with kids running around a city trying to conquer territory, and their phones registering where they’re located.

Turns out it’s finally happening — in Copenhagen, home of UnWired Factory. They’re launching something rather excellently titled “Battle Machine”, where “addictive game-play utilizes man’s eternal strive for geographical dominance.” Yes way.

(Plus, the first-ever mobile gaming conference is on the way.)
