Walking Dead: Our World, Jurassic World Alive, and Pokemon Go: Comparing AR Games

I feel like I've always had an interest in more interactive games. I'm old enough that I grew up spending a lot of time in arcades. I just remember being drawn more to those games that physically simulated other activities--the motorcycle racing games that tilted as you drove, the sports simulation games where you actually kicked or punched or dodged. Shoot, I was a competitive Dance Dance Revolution player in high school (NJ had a huge scene, especially at the shore). 

It's no surprise to me that I'm drawn to this growing wave of AR (augmented reality) games that require you to get up and move. Pokemon Go has been my go to excuse to leave the house and take a nice long walk for two years now. Niantic's Pokemon trainer simulator is still the leader in these nerdy AR walk and complete minigames genre, but The Walking Dead: Our World and Jurassic World Alive are new challengers worth taking a closer look at.
