PacManhattan
A group of NYU grad students have designed and playtested a live-action version of pac-man in the streets of Manhattan, complete with guys running around in pac-man and ghost suits.
Each player has an operator (similar to the Matrix if you want to draw that connection) updating them on where they are and where to look through wi-fi internet access and cellphone links.
There are some really hilarious videos on the site, too, like this one:

I'm just wondering when Pitfall comes out.
