Ashley Gilbertson is a war photographer based in New York whose work has seen him travel into the harsh battle zones of Iraq between 2002 to 2008, who currently works for Time Magazine. He was tasked with playing through The Last of Us Remastered for the PlayStation 4, utilising the game's new photo-taking mechanic with the objective of capturing the protagonists, Joel and Ellie, as they meander through the ruins of North America in a post-apocalyptic vision of the future.

IWG character study - Joel (The Last of Us)

I have only currently played The Last of Us a single time (I'm in the process of playing through the remaster on the PS4 however) and whilst everyone tends to focus on Ellie and sings her praises of being a well written and strong female character, Joel is as just as important. The direction that Naughty Dog decided to go with regards to Joel's character is interesting; a single father thrust into a post-apocalyptic world, willing to do whatever it takes in order to survive. Joel is strong, but silent; rarely speaking without purpose or due thought. Not only does this say a lot about his character, but it also allowed Naughty Dog to build some very strong characters around him - Ellie and Tess come quickly to mind. Naughty Dog's fantastic writing helped to shape Joel as a character, but it was an amazingly passionate performance from Troy Baker that really brought Joel to life.

Sony at E3 - Destiny, Sackboy and Zombies!

If you tuned in to watch Sony's E3 conference then you probably heard the many buzz words and phrases thrown around during a presentation that was wholly underwhelming. While there were quite a few games that actually caught my attention, the rest of it as a unit was boring and I continually longed for it to end. Having been raised on Sony products I found this to be massively disappointing. This is no Xbox/Nintendo fangirl hate I'm dishing out. The presentation wasn't bad. It just wasn't up to the standard set by last year’s E3 presentation, although to be fair how can anyone measure up to an E3 with two console release announcements?

From Games to Movies - Who Should Play Our Heroes?

3/12/2014

Over the last year it has been revealed that game franchises such as Ratchet & Clank, Assassin’s Creed and The Last of Us will be receiving the big screen treatment. With that in mind, we have decided to offer some casting guidance to other big brand developers who may also be considering the transition from game to film. We feel that as lovers on both games and films it is therefore our duty to ensure that future movies based on games should only be done if they are done right.

Games are amazing. They blend lots of different elements from loads of different mediums, taking things from film, music, literature and mixing it all together and adding the special ingredient ‘interactivity’ to really make it special. 

But a lot of the time, the music in a videogame is often forgotten. So let’s have a little look at what I think is some of the best original scores in modern video gaming.
