HBO's "The Last Of Us" Reveals First Look

Naughty Dog's The Last Of Us is easily one of the most acclaimed video games of all time, with many praising the cinematic narrative, morally complex characters, and powerful blend of drama, action, and horror.

Its sequel, The Last Of Us 2, was equally acclaimed on the critical front, though many fans took issue with some of the storytelling choices employed. Regardless of a controversial (but still beloved) second chapterThe Last Of Us remains a high point in gaming, to the point where HBO officially moved forward to adapt an original series.
