Gamers on the Go

Well a new craze has hit us – Pokemon Go, where players get the opportunity to flit between the real world and a virtual one.


I will confess to not knowing that much about this new game. See I’m a bit of a technophobe (one of those people who still clings onto his trustworthy Nokia 3210) so I’m not really up to speed with smartphones and their true capabilities.

But what I have seen is people of varying ages – kids to adults in their 40s – wandering around town searching for these little virtual creatures. It sounds very bizarre and I’m not really sure I understand exactly what they’re doing but it does seem like a lot of fun.

Another great thing is it’s getting people away from their TV and computer screens and outside in the fresh air. Walking around and getting exercise. Surely this has to be a good thing..?
