By now you should've watched that first video of Sony's upcoming satellite-powered PSN title The Last Guy. If so, you'll totally get how this works. If not, well ... go watch it, then come back. So, instead of plopping in some Google Maps imagery and having the game dynamically generate a level out of that, the Last Guy Japanese website uses URLs to dynamically generate levels.
You can go ahead and try Joystiq.com (it's a game blog, maybe you've heard of it) by clicking on that image above. Got another URL that works better? Share with your fellow 'stiqers in the comments.

So wait, Chris, in the real game I thought the levels were predesigned. Are you saying we can pick our own part of the world and the game will autocreate a level based off that? If so that would be truly badass.

Is it supposed to be this slow to load? It seriously just took a full minute to go from "10%" to "16%".

Dude this game is fun. Don't do news sites though, the format generally makes it really hard.
It's ironic because I just read something about zombie attacks here

In all honesty, I have to say this game is pretty unimpressive. The website gimmick does nothing for me.

I loaded up the link you had to the Joystiq one, and played it (couldn't beat it). After that I tried two other pages which both failed after loading to 80% and then freezing for a minute or so before failing. Now nothing will load at all, I just get a page load error.
Lame. I want to play more.
