Last of Us: Preview

Naughty Dog has done great things  with its uncharted series, captivating us with the amazing detail to graphics and cinematic storytelling in the same league with some major motions pictures today. However, Naughty Dog’s next game, Last of Us, looks like nothing they have ever done before in the past.

Last of Us has a totally different vibe from the Uncharted games, it has more of a dark, serious, and hopeless tone to it.

The story of the game revolves around two survivors, Joel and Ellie, who travel a post-apocalyptic America two decades after a deadly outbreak of a fungus that killed millions of people.

Players will get to control Joel as he tries to take Ellie to resistance group know as the Fireflies from the harsh regime of. They will face many difficulties traveling the US avoiding some of the infect and humanoid creatures.

Naughty Dog introduced a new feature call “Dynamic Stealth”, which will give more varieties and ways off approaching  combat situations.

The “Balance of Power” feature will make enemy AI act more realisticaly by calling for help or taking cover as soon as the player is discovered.

Last of Us will also feature crafting system, where players will be able to craft items from objects found in the world from different recipes they acquire.

There where will be a multiplayer mode included with the Last of Us, not much has been said other than it will be separate experience from the single player campaign.

People who pre-order the game will get the Sight and Sounds pack, which will include the official soundtrack, a ps3 dynamic theme cover art, and two avatars.

People who pre-order the game at Gamestop will get the Sights and Sounds pack and the Survival pack which will include bonus multiplayer xp, a multiplayer melee attack booster, extra in-game cash, special customizable character items for multiplayer, and two skins for Joel and Ellie.

Last of Us is set to be released June 14, 2013 as a PS3 exclusive.

Why I think that Journey is the best game I ever played

Journey is one the best games of this generation, not only that but it is one the best games I have ever played.

It is portrait of beauty, the graphics are on another level that no other games can achieve. Everything from the grains of sands, to the eerie darkness of the tunnels, the blanket of snow that covers the mountain, this game truly is pure art in it self.

However Journey isn’t all about the graphics, yet it does play a big part in the allure of the whole game.

It is more of an experience rather than a story, you take control of a nameless voiceless traveler whose only destination is a far-off distant mountain over the horizon. Just like in real life, Journey portrays strong emotions that vary from wonder,  to sadness, and joy.

The core game play of Journey is simple that any person can pick it up. This game is a rare gem, it doesn’t follow the structure of how many games are being made in this generation.

It is game that doesn’t focusing on killing, nor does it focus on points or high scores. Online features are completely different from what other games offer, my first time interacting with another player really made feel a different connection from other games.

When traveling with your fellow companion a lot emotions arise, from the sense of fear when your companion nearly dies, a sense of complete relief when your companion is right next you.

What is so fascinating about the game is that you never kill anyone or pick up a single gun. Journey achieves what other games can’t do, and that is to bring an emotional journey, full of beauty and wonder.
