I believe USA Today said TLoU was "The Citizen Kain monent of gaming."  It's hard to take me serious when I say this, but I completely agree.  Citizen Kain is so revered because it was really the first movie to be good by today's standards - no gimmicks, no BS - Just a good story with good acting.

The same is true for The Last of Us -  all of last generation games were trying to be "Cinimatic" and yet this usually came at the expense of gameplay.  TLoU finally managed to tell a story better than the grand majority of movies/TV and yet the gameplay was excellent.  MGS4 and Demon's Souls will always be my favorite games of all time, but objectively speaking TLoU of was the game of the generation.

Have you played Red Dead Redemption? Even though I also loved Metal Gear Solid 4, and specially Demon's Souls, it's the undisputed second place from last gen IMO.

I adore Rockstar's games, and imo RDR is the best game they have ever made to this day.  Objectively speaking I would probably put COD4 or RDR as second place.

-RDR because of its seamlessly open world MP

-COD4 because let's face it - it was the first good modern shooter.  Every single god damn game copied it.  It was soooo good, and it is sad lightning didn't strike twice at Infinity Ward (imo).
