Don't miss Sony's Project Shiphunt, a fun game using Google Ocean

Looks like fun though I still prefer the real thing...reminds me we need to get back tothat ship we discovered off Cape Henlopen.

Don't miss Sony's Project Shiphunt, a fun game using Google Ocean

We've covered a lot of games that have been created using Google Earth (and/or the Google Earth Plug-in) as the playing field. We wrote up an overview of many of them last year, and since then we've seen a few other great ones like "Drive the A-Team Van" and "Ships 1.5". However, I don't think I've yet seen a game that makes such extensive use of Google Ocean as I've seen with Sony's new Project Shiphunt.

The game is very well done and certainly quite challenging. You can play it at discover.sonystyle.com/shiphunt or watch the trailer below for more.

Have you tried it yet? Any luck finding some ships?
