Our Sibling Rivalry series allows for two writers to give intelligent commentary on various entertainment mediums. This time around, we compare two top prospects for game of the year.
The next generation of consoles is right around the corner, but we still have a steady supply of top quality games. Bioshock Infinite and The Last of Us have entranced gamers in beautiful crafted but dangerous worlds. Which leaves the largest impression? Profex from TheRedefined.com matches up against TheKoalition.com's Richard Bailey.

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
This was a great piece on comparing both BioShock infinite and the Last of Us. I do however give the edge to BioShock only because of the immersive world, compelling characters and storyline, and climatic ending. Both games will easily be the most memorable titles of 2013.
I enjoyed both but I give the edge to The Last of Us. I actually enjoyed Bioshock Infinite more, not just because of gameplay and story and such, but because of the environment. I feel like 2K really let their imagination fly with this game. Sometimes I would just stand there in the city of Columbia and take in the scenery of the floating city. Heck I even have the Bioshock Infinite art book on my Amazon wish list. Not to take anything away from TLoU at all though. Naughty Dog did a fantastic job with their artistic direction to. So much research went into the design of the infected. If I remember correctly they studied some plant life to come up with that design, but in the end Bioshock Infinite is a tad bit stretched out so my vote goes to The Last of Us.
Granted the ending of Bioshock was a more amped up reveal, but I feel that TLoU had a more emotional ending. The journey you take with Ellie and Joel is solidified within those final moments.
