Rate the Game: Week 62

[M-A-G]

Another top o' the morning to the TPWW Universe. Ready to plunge headfirst into this week's hot rating action? I sure am...kind of. Our grand list just keeps getting larger and larger and I believe this week is the sort of halfway point as we inch towards the final total of 125. That's going to be one hell of a pull down menu. So let's get right to it by adding last week's game, The Simpsons, to the list in it's proper place. Leaderboard, roll out....

Well thanks to the voting we've added yet another four-way tie to the leaderboard as The Simpsons takes the number 16 spot alongside Sonic, Samus, and Mario and his racing crew. I'm curious as to the identity of the three people who hadn't played it. I wonder if it's still available for download on the Xbox Live Arcade. Well we can't worry about something like that right now. There's more games to get to that need selecting! Case in point, this week's game. Let's go to the .gif and see what comes out! Behold....

So we've got quite the pick here as it's another major PlayStation 3 title, The Last of Us. This game still gets a lot of praise to match the same it received when it first released but what do you say? How does this title fare with you? Is it worthy of all of the accolades and fawning and awards? Take the poll, rate, discuss, and what not. Until next week!
