The combination of zombies and satellite imagery is pure genius, if you ask me. Sony mashed them together to make the PlayStation Network game The Last Guy. This title will go on sale in Japan on August 28th and will cost 2,000 yen.
The zombies at Siliconera point out that this will have many more cities than the teaser version released in Japan last month, including:
- Stockholm
- Sydney
- Berlin
- Washington DC
- Minato Mirai (Yokohama)
- Yokohama Chinatown
- San Francisco
- Asakusa
- Newcastle
Damn, still no US release date. I'm sure we won't be the
Last Guys getting this, though.

I hope it is geordie newcastle...not any of those shady knock offs
Personally, I thought the game was a blast. 18 bucks for 8 cities or so, not too horrible a price I think. It's not until they start releasing cities for an extra 300 or 400 yen a pop that it will get out of hand.
But having been to about 5 of those places mentioned, I think it will have definite appeal. Anyone else enjoy seeing the kirin torch in Asakusa? Quality game.
