The Last of Us is another strong game from the makers of the Uncharted series--Naughty Dog. Like Uncharted, you have some of the best game acting and script writing ever present in the gaming world. The Last of Us presents you with one of the most intelligent, intriguing and wonderful stories ever to be presented in a video game.

The characters are absolutely wonderful. Joel is a man who had lost his teenage daughter during the start of the apocalypse. He now is just a survivor who does what is needed to survive and has seemed to have lost his conscience. He is the anti-hero who finds himself in a situation that will challenge his lifestyle, his choices and cause him to review his life.

Ellie is a young girl on a quest to find her future. She is the future of mankind and she is eager to fulfill her destiny.

Joel does the right thing at the end of the story and it is heartwarming and genuine. Joel comes back to humanity and Ellie is the cure for his dark side. This game had to end this way to preserve humanity and show the goodness of mankind. There are some who would have wanted it to end another way--but the other way would have been the coward's way out and shown the dark side of humanity and how our history has shown that men take the easy way and use it as an excuse to harm and kill others in the "guise" of religion, science and health.

This is the perfect game. The best I have ever played.
