Games to Play Update:</p>
</p>
Finished Bioshock Infinite and it was also amazing, although not as universally so as Last of Us.</p>
</p>
Last of Us I can recommend to just about any gamer.</p>
</p>
Bioshock, I cant really do so. The story is more complicated, the "universe" is a bit different. But everything technical about the game was fantastic, from the actors, to story, to gameplay. There are some parts of the game that are just amazing and the detail of the world they create (a 1920's cyberpunk feel) is also incredible. They went out of their way to ensure the story was complete, followed continuity, and provided a pretty amazing detective-type feel for the game. The characters are excellent and the game really unfolds to a mind-blower ending that will leave you thinking about it.</p>

The only real complaint I had was also a strength... You have clues and supplies and treats everywhere. The bad news is that a large part of the story-telling is done through these clues (similar to other Bioshocks if you played). You will find enough of these without going out of your way to look to get a pretty good idea of the story, but with this story, the details are very important, at least for geeks like myself (without spoiling anything). So I was disappointed when I saw some elements of the story that I didnt find or the like and later read online which only made the story that much better for me, but after the fact.</p>

Worth every cent of 60$ bucks I spent or the 20$ that others should. I dont think it will beat out Last of Us for game of the year, but it is a VERY worth title worth of its praise as well.</p>
