Siiting on a 95 metascore and 9.1 metacrtic user score based of 2842 ratings, saying The Last of Us is one of the best games this year is selling it short...one of the best games of this genration...is just about right. 2013 has been a great game for games with Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us all getting rave reactions from critics and audiences alike. However there is much more to come...with the release  of the PS4 and Xbox 1 along with plenty of new games this year there will be extreme competition for what game will be GOTY. But whichever game ends up being the best game this year will be remembered for a LONG TIME considering the year hasn't even ended and games like The Last of Us and Bioshock Infinite are being called the best games of all time. With next gen games to release along with BF4, GTA V, MGS5, Destiny and many others thIS GOTY may just end up to be probably the best game of all time.

So back to the main question...will there be any game better than The Last of Us this year?

crazy year.
I think even pokemon x/y has a shot to be the best game.

btw, userscore on metacritic is utter crap.

Dead Rising 3.

the only game i see that has a shot at that is GTA5

Metacritic? No way.

Public opinion, gtav or a next gen exclusive like forza.

Oh... well it's been about five minutes since the last last of us topic, so I guess it was about time for another. Remember, the game will whither and die without constant praise.

Grand Theft Awful V will probably take all the GotY awards. Like its predecessor, critics will probably give it a 10/10 before they've even played it.

Anyways, as much as I adore The Last of Us, I still ever-so-slightly prefer BioShock Infinite.

Grand theft auto has a huge chance to take the GOTY crown, as well as batman arkham origins. TLoU is at the top right now, but these two games have the potential to beat it.

Im a Last of US and ND fan and i endorse this comment, seriously its good we get it.

I want a sequel! Hated the ending

Agreed.
