I’ve written at some length about The Last of Us in the past. Recently, having never played the “remastered” PS4 edition, I’ve restarted the game. It’s sparked the same depth of interest that I had initially and I came across this wonderful video that had slipped past my attention.

To promote the PS4 edition of the game, Naughty Dog and Playstation arranged for this one-night-only performance of the games most memorable scenes and music by the original cast and composer.

[Although this is the official video, Playstation inexplicably kept the 30 minute timer countdown intact. I’ve skipped it.]

The joy and passion that the performers bring to the roles and the camaraderie that clearly developed offers a clean, new perspective on the work. The writing and performances are top-tier regardless of the genre or medium and seeing them celebrated this way is a real treat for fans.

After several days of teasing the Internets, Bethesda Game Studios have come through with the first trailer for the insanely anticipated Fallout 4. Confirming prior rumors in grand form, this game will be set in Boston, baby!

I lived most of my adult life in Boston and am now salivating even more for this game. As much as I adored “The Last of Us” [My Review] and its Boston-based areas, it was a linear game that featured just a small handful of well-known locations.

The pedigree of Fallout guarantees that we’re sure to see dozens of landmarks, buildings and neighborhoods (come on Davis Square!) and be able to spend hundreds of hours poking through every dilapidated corner.

There’s no release date yet, but we can only hope for more details to be revealed at Bethesda’s E3 Showcase, a first for them, on Sunday, June 14th at 7:00pm PT.
