The Last of Us is a beautiful, meticulously-crafted piece of interactive entertainment. Not a single object, camera angle, or NPC feels out of place or unfinished. At least that's what developer Naughty Dog wants you to think. But what happens when the camera can fly around the world freely and see things you're not supposed to see? Madness! Motion-capture!
