    Free zombie game

    Totaly self-referential zombie fun
    Once, it was a novelty to find cool free games on the Web. Today, there are so many free games, you could waste a whole day at work just fiddling around.

    And every once in a while there is a game cool enough to share with your co-workers.

    The Last Guy is a PlayStation Network game in Japan that is coming to the US.

    The Last Guy Everywhere is clever promotion of that game that turns any Web page you choose into a landscape for running around and saving people from zombies and giant bugs.
