Poll Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Or is it a remake too far?
The Last of Us: Part I is real, and it's coming to PS5 on the 2nd September. The long-rumoured announcement was meant to be Geoff Keighley's big finale for Summer Game Fest Live, but Sony somehow managed to leak the entire thing through its own PlayStation Direct store just hours before the show. Perhaps that leak...

Game of the Year Gold Trophy - The Last of Us
It can't be for nothing
We’d love for this article to come as a pleasant surprise, but we suspect that it’s more obvious than a brick to the face. The Last of Us felt like a Game of the Year winner when it lurched onto the PlayStation 3 all the way back in early June, and nothing has really topped it in our eyes in the six or so months since...

Game of the Year Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013
This is living
It may be ending the year as the tired old video game veteran, but the PlayStation 3 can humbly hold its disc slot aloft, as this has been an outstanding year for the former flagship format. We know it's a countdown cliché to claim that it was a challenge to cut our list of Game of the Year candidates down to a manageable integer,...

Game of the Month June 2013 - The Last of Us
It wasn't for nothing
Who wants to know a little secret? Ordinarily we run an internal poll for these Game of the Month posts, but on this occasion we didn’t bother. Anyone that dared to vote against Naughty Dog’s incredible opus The Last of Us was going to be forced to spend the week shamefully sat on the step outside of our big cheese’s...

Feature Three Reasons Why You Simply Must Play The Last of Us
Plant strife
We may need to replace the office carpet at some point. The Last of Us, the latest opus from Uncharted developer Naughty Dog, prompted this particular author to pace up and down more times than the average game. It wasn’t that we struggled with our opinion on the title – we loved it from the jaw dropping opening to the energy...

Twelve weeks later
Those still lamenting the shock execution of Zipper Interactive last March will find a lot to like about The Last of Us’ closely guarded multiplayer mode. Unlike the single player campaign’s strictly personal tale, the competitive component sees you cultivating a stronghold of survivors, fighting against enemy factions to...

Just the two of us
We hope that you cope well in a crisis, because you’re going to need nerves of steel in order to navigate The Last of Us’ nightmarish vision of the future.

Reaction The Last of Us' Launch Date Points to the PlayStation 4's Imminent Arrival
Final countdown
Sony, like most other publishers, is not a massive fan of mid-year releases. The platform holder has had some success launching Sucker Punch’s two supercharged inFamous titles during the sunny window, but it typically reserves its heavy hitters for the start of the year or the festive period. It’s interesting, then, that the...

Reaction New Franchises Prove Sony's Commitment to the 'Core'
Breaking barriers
It’s been a strange E3. Word is that the industry is treading water until 2013, when Sony and Microsoft will almost certainly join Nintendo in unveiling their latest boxes. That anticipation for next year’s show has arguably sucked some of the enthusiasm out of this one, with publishers opting to promote in-between titles that...

Feature First The Last of Us Gameplay Demo is Brutal, Glorious
Dangerous new world
The Last of Us needed no introduction: the faint chirp of birds contrasted against the image of a decaying world did the job. Sony certainly saved the best until last, and Naughty Dog's latest title was a fitting conclusion to a press conference packed with interesting new intellectual property. We could describe the demo, but...
