The Last of Us? Yeah, looks good

So if you don't know me, I am a HUGE post-apocalypse game kinda guy. Love the Fallout series, love Resident Evil, like the Metro series. Anything where you can get the feeling that everything around you used to be vibrant and alive, but where now nothing but menace remains in the dark corners that many dare not to go gets my blood boiling and ready to pick up a controller.
That's why when the tags about Naughty Dog's new Playstation exclusive The Last of Us started to creep to the surface my mouth started to salivate and I have been wanting to see clips of this game ever since.
Well, they certainly didn't disappoint with the last trailer they put out.



What stands out for me is the why they are going to tell the story with the old, haggard Joel and the young, innocent Ellie. The fact they are not father-daughter or any blood relation as of yet also sells the desolation, and this clip shows the differences in the way Joel and Ellie see the world, and the things you have to do just to stay alive.
Can't wait to get my hands on this. Not being an Uncharted fan (just never picked them up), this is going to be my first go-round with Naughty Dog, but their track record more than speaks for itself. Hopefully we will get more from E3 in the coming months and go from there.
Right now, I just want more.
