For the last month I've had to hear about Last of Us on every podcast I listen to over and over again. I don't hate the game. It's seems pretty good. I almost bought it too, but it's reliance on stealth has me worried I won't like it.
I think Naughty Dog is doing another Uncharted now, so this might have been just a one time project; although, Last of Us did amazingly well in sales, so we might see a sequel sometime.
