The Last Of Us

It seems even the apocalypse can't save us from Twilight-mania
Date played: July 14th
Platform: PS3
Session fun rating: 9/10

I played through a gameplay heavy segment in Pittsburgh. I made it out of the hotel alive, thanks to a surprise save by Ellie. She thought Joel was taking too long and started looking for him. As luck would have it, she shot a bad guy in the head just as Joel was about to be drowned by him in a small pool of water in the hotel dining room. We then made our way out of the place through a beautiful room, a sort of piano/dining hall.

After all that, Ellie pressured Joel (again) to give her a gun. He gave her a rifle and she was extremely useful in the next encounter. The local militia is starting to be really scared of our duo. They speak of the pick-up truck team in hushed tones, making up stories and stuff. I fought about 12 guys in an open area. I took out most of them stealthily, but then resorted to pistols, the bow, molotov cocktails and scissor bombs. Ellie saved my ass once and killed two or three guys. She now has pistol at all times and has helped a few times.
