Genre: Survival-Horror
Shipping: 2012-2013
The trailer first aired several weeks ago and we liked what we saw. Officially described as “a character-driven tale about a modern plague decimating mankind,” The Last of Us follows a Hollywood-ready pair of survivors — the vaguely Matthew Fox-ish Joel, and the startlingly Ellen Page-like Ellie — who travel across an under-populated but dangerously overgrown America. And if procuring both shelter and next day’s meal isn’t hard enough, the two must use their wits and the precious few weapons in their arsenal to battle murderous gangs and hordes of fungus-encrusted mutants. Yes, it seems like a mash-up of The Road and I Am Legend (with a dollop of Juno), and we have no problem with that.
