4. Grand Theft Auto GO

The Concept: All the mayhem of GTA on your mobile phone, so you can do it all! Run from the cops! Grab cars, but not that way! Kill random pedestrians for money! Go hog wild!

Why It Might Work: Uhmmm…

Why It Probably Won’t Work: Uhmmm…

3. Fatal Frame GO

The Concept: Given your built-in camera in your phone, ghost-hunting via Fatal Frame has never been more intuitive! No need to use clunky analog controls when you can use your phone to shoot ghosts in the AR world in real time to upgrade your Spirit Camera!

Why It Might Work: This game was meant for a mobile AR version, and you know it. Combine all the thrills and chills of Fatal Frame with having it happen in the environment around you instead of just a TV screen. What’s not to like?

Why It Probably Won’t Work: “Wow, that’s a scary ghost! I should…huh? I haven’t downloaded Fatal Frame GO on this phone! Nooooooooo!!!” Other than that scary scenario, hey, why not? Make this game happen!

2. Call Of Duty GO

The Concept: Certain spots will be mission spots via GPS, and you have to follow the pre-determined course to use your phone to “shoot” at AR enemies to progress. If you want to make it more fun, you can even do multiplayer and have people just go at it in skirmishes.

Why It Might Work: It’s like war games or paintball without the expensive equipment!

Why It Probably Won’t Work: Do we really need to hear gay slurs and get teabagged in real life, too?

1. Temple Run GO

The Concept: It’s Temple Run. You’re trying to escape a rolling boulder or some demonic monkeys as you run off with treasure. This time, you do the running. What’s not to like?

Why It Might Work: Talk about a workout! This game is practically commanding you to run for your life!

Why It Probably Won’t Work: …With your phone in front of you. Yeah, that seems like a brilliant idea to thin out the population.

What games would you want in a “Go” format?
