Naughty Dog’s latest game, The Last of Us, is the story of a grizzled survivor (Joel) who thinks he has lost everything, and a young girl (Ellie) who has been hardened by a world gone horribly wrong. 20 years earlier, a fungal infection wiped out most of Earth’s population, and transformed the victims into mindless killing machines.
