Make Your Street Look Like Something Out Of The Last Of Us

Games like The Last of Us, Enslaved and Tokyo Jungle give us glimpses of what life would look like after people have all but disappeared. It's often beautiful, but unless you live in one of the places shown in those games, it's not exactly relevant. » 3/17/14 11:30pm 3/17/14 11:30pm
