Will augmented reality games (eg. Ingress) be more healthy activities than flat screen stay inside games?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I mean, I play games too - don't get me wrong. I am not sure how much of gaming comes down to being healthy or not and how much is just the culture. The very limited exposure I had to ingress involved a lot of drinking and eating out. It definitely was not even close to neutral calorie wise.

But I didn't get in to Augmented Reality games and it's not my shtick. At the end of the day, I definitely use games as a way to decompress.

For me, personally, when I go out I have a hard time wanting to have anything to do with the computer, be it software dev or games.
