Ingress is the coolest game I think I've ever downloaded on my iPhone (although I haven't downloaded that many games on my iPhone.) It uses a real-time GPS tracking system to let you move through space and find "Portals" that you can either strengthen or weaken, depending on your alliance. It is such a cool premise with a very simple execution. You tap the "portals" which are located where different pieces of art/history are around the world. Then you can link portals, destroy them, capture them, strengthen them, etc.
One highlight of the game today was when me and a huge team of blue were trying to get to a neutral portal. Once a portal is owned, it stays green or blue depending on who captures it. A neutral portal is either new, or has been destroyed so that it can be reclaimed. Well by the time I got to the neutral portal, a small team of green had conquered it. I lied to them, telling them I was green, and then walked around with them for a bit and finally took over the portal they had just made... as a SPY!

| I believe that I got the right screenshot for when I took over the green portal. Honestly, I'm not sure. |
I still don't know how to do that much in this game, and being Level 1 is frustrating because I feel like I can't destroy anything, I just have to play within the fields of blue. Today was really fun and I am going to continue to play this game on my own!
