    Infected is a game for the Sony PSP which promises a new kind of victory lap. You can play other PSP owners wirelessly and, if you beat them, you leave your avatar on their handheld to, “spread like a virus.”

    Sounds like mobile gameing is really going to evolve with the PSP (and DS's) wireless interface

    Sounds like hype to me

    "it’s just token exchanging, but it still creeps us out"

    they also got a nice mention of EB in there too, just incase you can't decide where to buy it.

    cheap gimmic imo

    erm.. so basically what they're saying is that in a multi-player game, when someone wins, all the other screens show who won ? Nice idea but I'm pretty sure it's been done.

    I think when you beat somebody you leave a "tag" behind on their PSP that they cannt get rid off. After thta im not sure. There could be more to it where tags get spread around like a virus during variius multiplay sessions but its hard to say.

    Still it shows their at least trying to spice up mobile multi play which is cool.

    From what I understand is that when you battle it out with someone and win an avatar gets left on their machine. Then when he battle someone some how your avatar can get transfered to that machine. So your avatar spreads through PSP's.
