I was also surprised at how much The Walking Dead made me care about Clementine, and how hard some of those life or death choices were for me to make. And I think as game developers have more tools to provide us with experiences like that, those lines will blur even more. This is a great time to be a gamer.

And man, the more I hear about The Last Of Us, the more I want to go to a friend's house and check it out. Sounds like that game is doing a lot right.

That's funny, because I can list just as many games that gets to me as movies.

Games that dates back to the 90's...Clearly Mr. director here knows VERY little about video games. And yes, The Last of Us speaks for itself.
