After Jeff Gerstmann, I think Kevin Van Ord is the best reviewer in Gamespot. His reviews are almost always spot on match with what I'm thinking of the game as well and he has a very pleasing and engaging voice. On the female side, I think Jane Douglas has one of the best looks and voices for a review.

Not trying to put anything negative against Carolyn Petite because her review was her opinion and 9.0 is still an excellent score.

I'm just curious who the other gamers think are good reviewers.

Interesting game, very kiddish but surprisingly annoying game with the bad controls. (And no, I don't "just suck" at gaming).

The controls are not precise. My rating 7/10 - would've been more fun had it not been for the poor control scheme.

Might've as well been playing this while on ice skates.

I pre-ordered The Last of Us based on the hype around here in Gamespot but I am happy to say this game is well worth my time. From the opening cinematics to the ensuing gameplay and graphic locales, I was hooked along with my captive audience - my father who was watching me play this game and following with interest in what transpires.

And the best part is I got it as my Father's day gift (but my kids are very young so we had to wait till they sleep first).

The story is downright amazing as well as the setup. This game reminds me a lot of the movie - The Road with bits of I Am Legemd, 28 days and few other zombie apocalyptic movies like - A boy and his dog, Night of the comet etc.

Ellie is perhaps the best conceived and acted character. She reminds me so much  of my own daughter, who is much younger than Ellie but shares some traits. Ellie is smart, strong but not arrogant nor vapid. The strong father daughter type bonding shown in the game is also engaging and endearing.

The situations they are put in are genuinely nerve wracking and tingling when you hide frantically because you have almost no ammo. Questions abound - do you shoot and get it over with losing your ammo or let it go and live to fight another day etc.

Seldom have games evoked such responses from me.

This game is a masterpiece IMO. My father and I are really enjoying playing and watching this game which is almost like a movie playing out.

My rating - 9.75/10

I downloaded the demo a while ago and only got around to playing it today. Is the full game like the demo - in that Kratos is show from a huge distance and most of the time, I didn't know where Kratos was because it was zoomed out too much.

I thought one of the guys I was fighting in a hanging tumbling box was Kratos till I saw that guy fly out to his death below and I thought I died but then I realized it wasn't me.

I'll skip the game if it is like this because the demo just seemed unimpressive. It looks like they wanted something epic but went too much on the epicness making me miss what was happening at ground level.

Picked it up at Target for $10. Fun entertainer for a lazy sunday afternoon. I got about a few hours enjoyment out of it which was perfect. Puzzles and hidden objects. They're all simple mostly save one or two head scratchers.

You won't get fancy graphics or anything, but overall, fun game.

7/10
