The Last of Us by NaughtyDog

               Here's another example of excellent digitally created art. "The Last of Us" is the name of the game, and it's one of the best games I've ever played. Digital art and video game making began a long time ago, around the 1970's. Back then, there was pretty much only primitive photos and basic games like Tetris and Pac-Man. Technology has taken a huge step in the right direction since then.

           
          "The Last of Us" made it's first debut in 2013. It took the gaming society by storm with its excellent story and stunning graphics. It left me begging for more, after I finished the game. The game is strikingly realistic, and the story is so good that they are making a movie based off the game. Besides the good story telling, the graphics of "The Last of Us" are remarkable. They used professional actors to portray the characters in the game. This is part of the reason why the game looks so real. The creators used computers and 3-D rendering and other processes to create the landscapes in the game, the characters faces, and other things. It takes a great deal of work to create something like this. It's a lot like movie making - the only thing is it takes much longer and much more work, thought and consideration for all the factors that make a video game a video game. The game takes an estimated 15 hours to complete. It's literally like your in a movie, but instead of watching it, you're actually in it, making moves and decisions that determine your future. That is a quality that no movie or show can deliver.
           In conclusion, digital and computer art has come a long way. From basic games like Tetris and Pac-Man, to more complex and exciting games like The Last of Us that will leave your heart pumping and your soul begging for more. Maybe one day over summer vacation you can try it out and experience for yourself the wonders of this game. I'm sure you will love the graphics, the story, the music, the places it will take you. You might just fall in love with this game, like I have.
