NEW LEVELS, NEW HOPE FOR PLAYSTATION 3 UNDERDOG THE LAST GUY

As I’ve mentioned several times before (of note, in the turn of the year’s Offworld 20 list), Sony’s google-maps-enhanced top down superhero rescue game The Last Guy is one of the PlayStation 3’s overlooked downloadable gems.

And just when I thought all hope would be lost at ever seeing an expansion to the game, andriasang brings news that not only will it be getting a full Blu-ray retail release in Japan, along with three new levels, previous purchasers of the downloadable version will also be getting a $5 add-on pack that includes those levels alongside a patch for now-requisite Trophys and “other features.”

No word on where on earth the new levels will take us, but either way — if you haven’t already — do yourself a favor and add it to your ‘something for the weekend’ list in anticipation.
