Goggles the Google Flight Simulator
 Goggles is an web-based flight simulator that uses Google Maps. Goggles lets you pilot a little plane as you fly over the Google Maps of various cities including Washington D.C., New York, Boston, Toronto, Belin, Paris and Sydney. You also pilot your Goggles plane over the Moon and Mars. The plane can also shoot although nothing is actually destroyed. The plane will also crash if flown too close to the ground. It is a surprisingly entertaining game to play and worthy of time killer status. Lots of bloggers are playing this game.
The Platial News and Neogeography blog has a good combat suggestion: "I propose a mmorpg version where you'd encounter other planes (and could shoot them down :)"
The Click Heard Round the World blogs how you can fly over your own house with a special URL hack.
The Swamp says Goggles is "totally the cutest flight sim ever."
Google Blogoscope include Goggles in a long list of Google games. Fast Company's blog also lists a few other Google games.
The Google Earth Blog notes that Google Earth has a similar feature called G-Force mode.
