From the developers of the Uncharted franchise comes "The Last of Us", a game set two decades after a cordyceps-type fungus has killed millions, with nature gradually retaking the abandoned cities and towns. Survivors are hemmed inside quarantine zones, completely under the heel of the United States military, with order and screening for any Infected being viciously maintained under martial law. The player takes control of Joel, a hardened black-marketeer within one of the quarantine zones. He goes through an event which makes him promise an old friend that he will get a young girl, Ellie, away from the harsh regime. They begin a journey through the USA, avoiding the Infected, humanoid creatures whose sole aim has become spreading the fungal infection, and scavengers that survive outside the quarantine zones who see Joel and Ellie as their latest prey. But, added to their problems, the military are determined to find Ellie and bring her back under their power. The game will be released on June 14. --------------- I'm still not completely sold but the story looks somewhat interesting and I'm inclined to give Naughty Dog the benefit of the doubt despite my slight disappointment with Uncharted 3.

I'm not sure what to expect from this. It does seem interesting though.

I was just reading some reviews on it. Sounds like it's pretty flippin' good. The Citizen Kane moment of gaming even, yeesh. It's still not grabbing me completely for some reason but, I'd love to try it out.
