A Fantasy sport is a game where fantasy owners build a team that competes against other fantasy owners based on the statistics generated by individual players or teams of a professional sport. Probably the most common variant converts statistical performance into points that are compiled and totaled according to a roster selected by a manager that makes up a fantasy team. These point systems are typically simple enough to be manually calculated by a "league commissioner." More complex variants use computer modeling of actual games based on statistical input generated by professional sports. Fantasy sports are also known as Fairy-Tale sports and Owner Simulation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fantasy_sports

The Seamful Game is a GPS and WiFi based game played in the streets using PDAs. It began life as a project to test an idea about exploiting and exploring the seams of an 802.11 wireless network. Now approximately one year on, Bill is a fully featured multiplayer team game, which has been accused of being fun to play. Players must develop an understanding of the network coverage and the effect of signal strength in order to successfully play the game. In this way we are turning the patchy network coverage, which is usually seen as a problem to be overcome, or worse ignored, into a feature (indeed possibly the main feature) of the game.
Real World Activities Effect Your Game Character
G-Link by Ross O'Shea is a student project where your real world activities effect your game character. This hip pouch and badge is full of electronics and as you wear it throughout the day, it senses and records data; how many steps you have taken, how much you speak, size, temperature and brightness of your environment.
This device has currently been prototyped using the RPG Morrowind. In usual circumstances, a player might make an avatar that is a fitter, stronger more attractive version of themselves. The G-Link reverses this and says if you sit in and play games all day, your character will be weaker, yet if you go out for a walk then your character will be stronger. Also if you go out in the sun your character will be light aligned, yet stay indoors and it will go over to the dark side. Recently part of the CoEDD graduate exhibition.

Majestic is a suspense thriller with conspiracy sensibilities involving covert government agencies and menacing fugitives. You play in this unfolding multi-tiered story that involves a game company whose top new product appears to interfere with the agenda of a mysterious high-powered, top-secret political organization. Majestic progresses in it's own way. If a character says he will get back to you tomorrow; players have to wait until tomorrow to receive a phone call, fax or e-mail. Majestic also keeps playing even after you have shut down the computer. The game may send the player a hard-copy fax while he is in the middle of a conference room meeting or e-mail him at the office to see how he is doing.
