US, August 27, 2008 - I was destined to love The Last Guy. Beyond the fact that the game is a blast, beyond the fact that the gameplay is simple but complex, and beyond the fact that the music is that wacky kind of catchy -- the main character wears a red cape and blue suit.

What's not to love?

The word "quirky" gives you and idea of what to expect with The Last Guy, but it doesn't adequately prepare you for the craziness found in this PlayStation Network download. Basically, a purple ray has hit Earth and turned a healthy number of the inhabitants into zombies. These monsters now roam the world's streets and gobble up any human foolish enough to leave his or her hideout.

This is where you -- the last guy -- come in.

After playing the demo a few days ago I think this game resembles PacMan, but less fun.

The graphics are good, the music is cool, but there's really nothing that makes me wanna save another 700 people or so after a few rounds. It just became boring. Maybe if instead of monsters(?) they had REAL Zombies, that you could hit and kill, things would be better, but still, I just lost interest after a while.

I actually will be buying this as soon as I get home tomorrow, I personally loved the quirkiness of the game, and I think quirky is the best way to describe it.

With that said, I can definitely see how this would not be everyones cup of tea.

So anyone else pick this up yesterday?

I did, and I have to say it is already getting pretty damn hard, and I am only on the 3rd stage.

I seriously cannot imagine me every having the patience of getting every single person within a level either, just seems like it is going to take so much damn time to figure out the best route.

But seriously, I have not gotten past Washington yet, it is not the insects, but the damn walking zombies that make it so damn hard. LOL

I do really like it though overall, feel it is a great PSN game.

Nope, was not able to do that one yet, but I am almost positive a VIP is going to be there. :yes:

I bought it tonight on impulse :laugh:

It's actually better then I thought it'd be and there is some strategy involved, the use of Google Map images for the levels is genius :D

It's scary how much of my time spent console gaming these days is via PSN or Xbox Live :|

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      By +Edouard · Posted

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
