StreetWars Hits New Jack In Big Way

Cult following... check.

These guys have been bubbling away for a while and have this very cool sub culture of hunting each other down. Its a game called StreetWars. You get the details of someone and they get yours. You find out where they live, where they work etc and you have to hunt them down and squirt them with a water gun first. Assassin style. Check out their site and interestingly they are charging $40 to play.
