Long read: The beauty and drama of video games and their clouds

Watch us play The Last of Us from 12pm BST

Multiplayer stream to go with your sandwiches.

So, The Last of Us is out today. Looks alright, I guess.

Actually, yeah, it's really good. Oli's already given it top marks, and elsewhere on the site later this morning Tom will be telling you what makes it quite so special. It's a step away from Naughty Dog's typical spectacle, and the muted drama and thoughtful systems make it something truly great.

You'll probably want to save the splendour of the single-player for yourself - I'd highly advise you to, anyway - so to give you a little flavour we're going to be skipping straight to multiplayer. If you're one of those lucky sorts who has a PS3 by their desk - or if you're even luckier and aren't working today - you can join in too. Just ping Ian Higton's PSN account - Higtown32 - and you'll have a chance of getting in on the action from 12pm BST.
