E3 Expo: The Last of Us Show-Stealing Intro

In The Last of Us E3 Trailer, Joel and Ellie are attempting to get to the bridge and out of the city. They are tourists in an area that’s controlled by hunters. They are hunted and yet they too are hunters. Everyone is willing to do whatever it takes to survive. Playing as Joel, Ellie’s help and whatever weapons you can scavenge are your best shot at progressing in this brutal, violent world. The Last of Us is tentatively due out for the PlayStation 3 on Tuesday, December 4th.

I have to say that after watching every single trailer from E3 Expo this year, and all three of the major press conferences, that The Last of Us was by far the best trailer of the lot. There were many games that were exciting like LEGO City Undercover on the Wii U or Halo 4 on the Xbox 360. But I didn’t even know about The Last of Us before the Sony Press Conference. Now I can’t think of any other game I would rather play.

John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
