ESRB rates 'The Last Guy' for PS3
The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has rated a previously trademarked, but still largely nebulous PlayStation 3 title called, "The Last Guy." Needless to say, we know more about the behavior and diet of the Narwhal than we know about this E10+ game -- and even then, we just had to look Narwhal up on Wikipedia. Apparently it's some sort of fish thing?We've requested comment from the folks at Sony, but in lieu of an actual answer, let's consider the most likely (and gratuitously fabricated) explanations: The Last Guy (being the ultimate next-gen card game): Hook up the PlayStation Eye camera and throw down some cards with three of your mates. Match up numbers, colors and shapes as you attempt to keep your cards for as long as possible. Don't forget to shout, "Last Guy!" when you're the final card holder, or everything is forfeit. "I win!" "No way dude, you didn't say 'Last Guy!' Pick up 47 clubs!" The Last Guy (being the ultimate next-gen survival-horror): Following a cataclysmic scientific accident involving an egg whisk and inter-dimensional clumsiness, you find yourself to be last guy on Earth. Arming yourself with shovels, pickets, heavy brass doorknobs and whatever else you can find, you embark on a journey fraught with peril and mutated humans who are clearly not guys. The Last Guy (being the ultimate next-gen castle sim): As the last guy, it's up to you to foil the hero before he beats the entire game. Obstruct the moat with robot crocodiles, instruct your mindless minions and construct the most elaborate (but still homey) deathtrap in the neighborhood. Spinning columns of searing fire? Yes! Unexpectedly placed bottomless pits? Certainly! A barely supportive rope bridge with an axe conveniently located right behind you? Hey, we can't play the game for you!

The Last Guy gets E10 rating from ESRB
We still don't know what The Last Guy is. We do know that it's a game coming from Sony Computer Entertainment, and thanks to the ESRB, we know that it contains alcohol references, mild suggestive themes and mild violence. Given its E10 rating, it can't be too violent. Popular theories around the web suggest that this will be a downloadable title. It shouldn't be too long (E3, perhaps?) before we find out more about this mysterious game.
SCEA trademarks 'The Last Guy'
As pointed out by Siliconera, a trademark filing for Sony Computer Entertainment America revealed a possible new title called "The Last Guy." It's not the first time we've heard of this name before; it was previously listed on a "leaked EU release schedule" for PSN titles. The previous listing has been pretty accurate in some areas -- such as mentions of the new Siren game, Resistance 2 trailer, and echochrome's release. The findings of the trademark combined with the leaked sched point to a good chance for "The Last Guy" becoming an actual game.Alas, this game could become reality, but hopefully "The Last Guy" is just a tentative title. Or, at least it's only withholding a subtitle such as "The Last Guy: In Line" or "The Last Guy: Is Lonely." Nah, all horrendous ideas. Perhaps you could think up some better subtitles. Oh, and one other thing, chances are "The Last Guy" is not about I am Legend (... or is it).
