I just posted an article about Mogi, a multiplayer game running in Tokyo -

Mogi is brilliant because it ties the desktop web to the mobile internet. Hardcore players using web terminals can command mobile casual players to work in a team effort.

Mogi is brilliant because it anchors the reality of a massively multiplayer online game in physical space. You travel the "real" world, and as you do, you impact and interact with the virtual world. There have been other "location-based" multiplayer games that use the real world, but none have strewn items and people all over town for a pickup.

Mogi is brilliant because the gameplay is non-combative - people get started by collecting, and continue by trading. This should involve a broader range of people in more relaxing fun, meanwhile encouraging everyone who plays to engage mobile social networks in new ways.

Presumedly Mogi should be a big success. Today, it's a beta-tested French game running on a few handsets in Tokyo. In other words, Mogi should be a guiding light for the entire mobile and multiplayer online games industries.
