Google Maps Meets Carmen Sandiego

Posted by Zonk on from the they-go-from-nashville-to-norway-down-there-to-zimbabwe dept.

Craig Miller writes "What better way to end the weekend than by playing a game of Brewster Jennings Protects America? This new game is a Google Maps mashup with the classic 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' style of game. Run around the world trying to stop a terrorist from carrying an attack. Pretty amusing game and it shows what you can do with the Google Maps API and a little imagination." Despite the jingoistic title and concept it's a lot of fun, and quite challenging on hard.

    In case you're wondering what the name Brewster Jennings refers to, it's the CIA shell company that was exposed along with Valerie Plame's identity.
