Sony's weekly update for the PlayStation Store has come and gone, but not without bringing some new stuff to buy and mess around with.

You've probably already played the demo for The Last Guy just to see what all the fuss has been about. The full version of this Japan Studio release is now available for $9.99. If I may drop references to a game that no one has played for a moment, The Last Guy is essentially an update of the Demonstration Roundup minigame found in Work Time Fun for the PSP. But instead of rounding up angry protestors and helping them dodge police, you're rounding up survivors and helping them avoid zombies. As a big-time lover of WTF/Beit Hell 2000, I'm buying this game to support game development by the criminally insane. Here, once again, is the great developer interview that was posted on the PlayStation Network awhile ago:

  


The third booster pack for Warhawk is now available, too. Known as Operation: Fallen Star, it adds jetpacks. I think it probably adds some other stuff, too, but they had me at jetpacks, so I stopped reading. Also, Sony has added trophy support to the game. Sounds like now is the time for me to finally get all of these booster packs. You can buy the new pack for $7.99, but if you're like me and haven't picked any of them up yet, you can get a bundle of all of them for $15.99. Here's the trailer for the new thing. Can you jack warhawks using your jetpack? If not, they need to put that in.

That dev. interview for The Last Guy was the most "unique" thing I have ever seen.

only reason im jealous of PS3 owners. Awesome downloadable games and warhawk. Can Last Guy be downloaded to a PSP? Since like you said Jeff, the game is pretty much an update of that WTF minigame, I'm sure you could run it on a PSP.

It's questionable as to whether the Warhawk expansions should have been included in the initial release, making the game the standard $60.  For people who bought this game, do you like this kind of prolonged release of material adding up to a full game or is it just annoying?  I don't have the game so I can't comment, but it all seems very odd to me.

WarHawk by itself is a great game, its no Battlefield 2 but its a great multiplayer shooter. But I think the way they're staggering the expansions makes the game more interesting. Aside for a new map all the expansions have included a new vehicle i.e. the APC with Broken Mirror  and the Dropship in Omega Dawn. They add a new element to the game play and in some (thought not all) cases require a change in tactics, and now this jetpack is going to shake up all the previous man on man tactics.

So in other words they refresh the game play and keep people playing and to me thats a really good idea.

Namaste! I am Da Last.... Guy!

It's an OK game, sorta hard, but absolutely DO NOT play on a 480i TV, I couldn't see much with my bad eyesight until I moved my PS3 to the HDTV.
