When The Last of Us, a worthy addition to the survival horror shooter bracket (not all horror games have guns), was released for the Playstation 3 it got a lot of people excited. Here was a decent apocalyptic shooter which managed to involve itself with zombies without being too cliché, regardless of obvious similarities to Left 4 Dead and Resident Evil 5. That being said, the game is a graphical masterpiece, plus is one of the only, if not the one and only, media offering where the zombies are fungus-based.
