Uncharted, no contest.

The Last of Us was good, but not incredible like all three Uncharted games were. I find it very, very overrated. The good parts were done very well though, the story and character progression were outstanding and the graphics were without a doubt the best I've seen from the 7th Gen. However, the gameplay is, not good. Actions have a terribly slow response for example; you're always too late and you're mashing buttons to perform one slow movement. The mushy buttons of a Playstation-controller aren't exactly helping the mediocre controls here either I'm afraid. I get that the slowness was the idea and it's made to be as realistic as possible, but it just doesn't work for me. Then, it's supposed to be a stealthy survival game, but at some point you'll have so much ammo and the AI is so stupid that you can just make a racket, wait in a corner and shoot everyone (or bash their heads in) while they all come rushing in one at a time. Elly's AI isn't much better, she more in the way rather than doing anything useful, and enemies don't respond to her presence; they can even run into each other and it doesn't matter.

It made me stop playing. So I haven't finished it. Maybe I will one day, because of the story. It does have one of the most powerful introductions to any video game after all.

Uncharted one the other hand is much tighter, it's faster adventure gameplay makes for better controls and more satisfying combat. I also like Drake and his friends better than Joel and Elly and by nature of the game the Uncharted series has more interesting settings and more varied levels.
