Google Maps Monopoly

Go ahead and make all of the obvious jokes. Tomorrow, Google and Hasbro are releasing Monopoly City Streets, which turns the entire world into one giant game of Monopoly. It’s a capitalist dream, and it might be the only way you’ll actually be able to buy or sell a house in this economy.
Google Zombie Map
This might be the best use of Google Maps ever: a map that shows the real-world locations of all of the appearances, deaths, events and locations from Robert Kirkman‘s excellent comic book series, The Walking Dead. Click on the icons in the left navigation bar to jump to their locations on the map, plus scanned panels from the comic.
If you haven’t read the comic, what are you waiting for? The AMC series based on the comic might be as little as 18 months away. You’ve spent the last two and a half years pretending that you were hip enough to start watching Mad Men from the first episode and living in fear that someone will discover that you devoured both seasons on DVD within the last six months. Don’t miss your chance to get in on the ground floor with this one.
