There have been a few social gaming sites built on top of Google Maps that have come to my attention lately.  Last week I posted about BattleCell, a game inspired by Risk and Starcraft where the world is divided up into 55 million cells. The objective is to capture as many neighboring cells next to your initial cell to build territories.

Pueblo Village II also uses Google Maps as a base map.  The objective of this game is to participate as a team of scientists that have traveled to Spain to locate the source of an anomaly (not clearly defined in the narrative about the game).  The game operates in both Spanish and English.  The English translations can be a bit confusing.

Zombie Outbreak Sim (ZOS) was recently released by Binary Space and is currently a sandbox application running on top of Google Maps:

ZOS allows players to unleash waves of zombies on the unsuspecting people of Washington DC. Players can tweak a number of zombie and infection variables such as zombie speed, infection rate, number of civilians and shooting accuracy to create their own version of a zombie outbreak.

ZOS apparently is a prequel to an upcoming game called “Class 3 Outbreak“.
