    I have been following this game fairly cloesly ever since it's been announced and I can already tell you that I've been hyped for it since that moment. I really can't wait for it - it looks brilliant. :p
    Really? I thought you'd be one of the people who are dying to get the game. No health regeneration, non-linear gameplay in a semi-linear environment, characters and gameplay that respond to the player's imput accordingly, an interesting set-up, gorgeous graphics (especially for a console title), an interesting plot with likeable characters, and so on.
    I think she is meant to be 15 or something. Anyway, I see your point and it is quite valid, but I personally disagree. First of all, there's plenty of kids who act like that. Furthermore, people tend to grow up at a much faster rate in harsh situations and environments. Secondly, there are plenty of girls who look much younger than they really are and/or don't have huge breasts. :p

    That's okay - to each his own... but I would like to know why you think it looks bad. There has to be some reason. :p

    The last of us- Review roundup (CVG)

    Ypu guys seeing the reviews its getting

    CVG: 10 - The Last of Us is a remarkable achievement, and one of those rare games that you never want to end as you approach the finale. It tells a moving story that will linger in your mind long after the credits have rolled, but never loses sight of the fact that it's a video game, not a film. It's a masterful marriage of storytelling and game design, and easily Naughty Dog's finest moment.
    Official PlayStation Magazine UK: 10 - A work of art in which amazing sights and sounds fuel an emotionally draining, constantly compelling end of days adventure. This is Naughty Dog pushing PS3 to its absolute limit. Over to you, PS4.
    Edge: 10 - Naughty Dog has delivered the most riveting, emotionally resonant story-driven epic of this console generation. At times it's easy to feel like big-budget development has too much on the line to allow stubbornly artful ideas to flourish, but then a game like The Last Of Us emerges through the crumbled blacktop like a climbing vine,

    SFX: 5/5 - "Sometimes, you just have to cut to the chase: The Last Of Us is the pinnacle of traditional narrative storytelling in any interactive medium, and one of the finest games ever made."
    Next Gen Gaming Blog: 10/10 - Very few games have the power to engage you on both a gameplay and narrative level, yet The Last of Us does both with ease. There are several moments that will stay with you long after the credits roll. It's that damn powerful. Not only does it breath new life into a genre, it redefines it and sets the benchmark. Put the fact that it's a game to one side, The Last of Us is just an incredible piece of entertainment and another masterpiece from Naughty Dog.
    ShopTo: No score - Naughty Dog's The Last of Us is a work of art, a classic waiting to be played. Make sure you don't miss out because this game will be talked about for a long time to come.

    Well it's a AAA game with touching story and dramatic setting and bla bla bla bla bla
    What did you expect?
    Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend" is one of my favorite novels. In the movie I liked Smith's acting, but the movie itself was 4/10 and I'm being generous.
    If they seriously think to compare the two, there will be some castrations...

    Is Spec Ops:The line really that good? You keep talking about how good game is and comparing it with almost any other game out there. I've tried it, seemed like any other tps out there.

    spec ops the line is pretty darn good, but not 100/100 like arron makes it seem. it's just more like the old days where it wasn't shoot em up and actually had depth.

    I know i know But Spec ops is my favourite game of all time
    great story
    Insane dialogue
    Great sound
    i just love every minute of it :D if a game/movie/book ever replaces this, you guys know its preety damn good.

    the reason i like Sotl is this the first game that made me think "What have i done" and made me think about it weeks later nothing has ever done this to me before

    But Spec Ops has Nolan North's voice-i'm tired of hearing this guy's voice EVERYWHERE. I'm pretty sure he had done some lines for LL too (one of the pilots in the crashed plane sounds suspiciously like Drake).
