ARG means two similar but different things when it comes to gaming.
This group is titled after Alternate Reality Games, games that blend elements of reality into a game world. These ARGs might use real data (like weather or current population) in a completely virtual environment, connecting the game world with reality. Some ARGs even manipulate things in the physical world from within the game.
The other definition of ARG, Augmented Reality Games, is very similar. These ARGs are played in the physical world using virtual elements, often relying on GPS data to sync the user's experience of both worlds simultaneously. Even though these aren't really games, good examples of augmented reality include GPS navigation, Yelp's Monocle feature on your smartphone, or Google Glass.
If you want to know more about ARGs, I highly recommend watching both Extra Credits episodes on the subject.
What is a good definition of ARG ? Is there a list of top 5 success models in ARG Games ?
