10 Video Games You Can Never Admit You Haven't Played

6. The Last Of Us

The most recent entry on the list, but one that thanks to winning every award under the sun throughout 2013 is the most recent benchmark for video games as both an artform and an affecting piece of entertainment you can show off to anyone within earshot.

It's safe to say Naughty Dog have come a hell of a long way since perfectly animating orange marsupials and telling the adventures of sexy adventure-types, and with LoU scriptwriters Neil Druckmann and Bruce Straley knocked it clean out the park.

Oh and that ending? It's spectacular.
