'The Last of Us'

( Sony )

Publisher: Sony
System: PS3
Release: 2012?

In a year of third, fourth, and ninth sequels, it's refreshing to see some promising new stories and settings that are worth getting excited over. "The Last of Us" is a survival horror/adventure game that looks to be heavily influenced by some of the great post-apocalyptic fiction we've been treated to recently (Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" immediately comes to mind). The trailer indicates perilous survival, the wastes of America, and of course, zombies. Who's not excited?
