Do you remember how sad you were when The Last of Us ended? After hours of surviving as a team your new best friends were suddenly gone forever. The banter, the jokes, and close calls with infected were done forever. The only good thing is that the story isn’t over, and that TLOU2 is on the way. We here at HEY YOU VIDEO GAME! are waiting patiently for it’s arrival, but in the meantime we put together a list of must-have merchandise for you or a gift for the Last of Us fan in your life.
1. This Awesome Backpack that’s Just Like The One Ellie Had
Be as cool and hip as Ellie with this backpack. It’s a usable replica of the backpack that carried all her survival gear. Sorry it doesn’t come with bricks, firefly pendants, or joke books.
Buy this Backpack on Amazon.com
2. Ridiculously Cool Comic Book Series on The Last of Us
The comic book The Last of Us: American Dreams is a prelude story to the game.
The story is set before Joel arrives, and helps flesh out the relationship between Ellie and Marlene. In addition, the story shows the beginning of Ellie’s friendship with Riley. It’s a beautifully drawn comic that will add more depth to the Last of Us universe.

10. Another Classic Naughty Dog Game – Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
Naughty Dog is the company who created the beloved The Last of Us game, and they’re also the creator the Uncharted video game series. If you (or a friend) loved The Last of Us you’ll get a kick out of their newest Uncharted game. It has a very similar game play, but the feel of the game is much less dark (no infected, clickers, zombie-ish characters).
