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.
