#14 The Last Of Us
The reason I bought a PS3. Fantastic game. Probably the first time I really thought that the good graphics really brought something extra to the experience. I liked just looking around the environment. Emotional, human and tragic. The use of fungi as the reason for the zombie-like state is in my opinion the best explanation used.
This is also one of very very few, probably uniquely so, games that have made me angry about the only possible choice for the player. I almost stopped playing completely when I understood that I had to kill the doctor to proceed. I really did not want to. The game ending soon after gave me a real bad taste. Maybe the fatherly feeling I was supposed to feel for Ellie was not strong enough for me to sacrifice all of humanity for it. But even if I did not like that, the impact and strong feelings this game created make it a great game and story.
