[VictimOfScience]

Wow. All I can say is wow. This coming soon PSN game has just blown me away with its ridiculously simple concept that is HUGELY fun and addicitve. Check out the demo on this page. Just click the banner at the bottom that says The Last Guy Everywhere. Enter a URL of your choice and get going! Incredible stuff.

Here is a quick description of the game:

Set some time in the 21st century, a mysterious purple ray hits Earth, turning anyone touched by the light into a monster or zombie. With zombies roaming the streets, unaffected people lucky enough to have been inside a building when the ray hit are anxiously holding their collective breath, waiting for someone to rescue them. As The Last Guy, you are the survivors? last hope to survive this global crisis. Actually, the hero of the game is himself a zombie from the Himalayan mountains, on a quest to save the remaining humans from the zombies that have infested it.
Go forth and save!!

As for the gameplay, here?s a basic rundown. The Last Guy is a fast-paced and addictive classic arcade style game with simple controls. The game uses real-life aerial maps of various cities around the world, including Tokyo, London and Los Angeles. As the player, you are the last remaining hope in each of these cities to rescue mankind from the zombies roaming the streets. As you navigate the city, you gather survivors hidden throughout buildings and other nooks and crannies in the city. Once rescued, the nervous survivors will form a line behind you. The objective is to lead them back to the Escape Zone so the United Rescue Force can pick them up and whisk them off to safety.

Looks pretty cool. Snake + Pac Man + Google Maps.

But what a stupid title. He is is evidently not the last guy since he is saving other people.

Yeah, but he is a zombie too. Very weird concept. I love that something this bizarre is actually making it outside of Japan.

Guy wanders around looking for people and shooting zombies, wtf.

I don't even get this game. It seems really basic, kind of boring. What's with PSN and making really complicated, boring games that seem intuitive but really isn't?

You're not holed up behind a static barricade making upgrades to it and stuff.
It's more or else like those java zombie infection applets it seems.
