The first ten minutes of The Last of Us set the stage for a piece of interactive drama that had us glued to our screens this summer. It's a bold move to deal with such a heavy subject matter and a major departure from Naughty Dog's previous stomping grounds. It's a game where characters are given more depth than is usually the case, a game that really puts a burden on the player as you're faced with a world where the moral high-ground is likely to get you killed. The growing relationship between Joel and Ellie, as he rediscovers parts of himself he thought lost, is a gaming memory that will live with us for a very long time. And the ending... well, let's not even get into that here.
