Tomb Raider Review
Lara Croft has always been seen as a tough female icon for the games industry. People everywhere loved her, so much so that she spawned two mediocre Hollywood films and even starred in a Lucozade advert in the mid '90s.

Tomb Raider
A whole new Lara Croft, a beautiful new world to explore and so much more excitement to be had.
Pros:
- Progressive difficulty makes it easy to keep up
- beautiful environments
- awesome musical accompaniment
- nonstop action sequences
- excellent checkpoint system
- manageable puzzles
- an actual in game reason to collect the collectibles
- great story that just doesn't stop
- awesomely gory death scenes...
Cons:
- Glitches that caused unnecessary deaths
- somewhat inconsistent AI
- skills that are almost useless unless taken early in the game
- some fights more frustrating than they should be
- Tomb Raider themed dreams every night I've played it

Tomb Raider
Whenever a beloved gaming franchise gets the reboot treatment, it's always a tentative time for the diehard fans. Sometimes the payoff is entirely worth it; you only need to look at great games like Fallout 3, XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow to know that putting a modern spin on...

Game Review: Tomb Raider [Xbox360/PS3/PC]
There aren't many games I've played where I have to pause and remember to breathe, yet on the other hand I have also experienced some gaming shocks that have reduced me to tears or fits of anger.

Absolutely Amazing
This was the first Tomb Raider game I even played and I'm afraid that it has ruined all previous ones for me. Unless the previous games also included all the equipment and skills that this one did i doubt that I'll ever touch them. The story is amazing and is supposed to be based off an actual myth.

Tomb Raider
There's a moment about midway through the new Tomb Raider where heroine Lara Croft lands in the clutches of a gaggle of male heavies - gross, grimy, near-feral Scavengers who want nothing more than to exact revenge for her killing their brethren.
Pros:
- + Incredibly polished production values and super-responsive controls make playing a treat
- + Great
- well-paced progression and character development make Lara believable
Cons:
- ? Hey

When adventurer extraordinaire Lara Croft raided her first tomb back in 1996, she brought with her an exhilarating feeling of isolation and discovery. Over the years, Lara has continued to venture into parts unknown, taking dark turns and frequently tangling with the supernatural as the series...
Pros:
- Story believably builds Lara up from unsure academic to confident adventurer
- Fascinating setting with a rich sense of history
- Intense combat that offers a good deal of flexibility
- Controls make physically overcoming the island's terrain a pleasure
- Good assortment of tombs to raid
- relics to...
Cons:
- Forgettable multiplayer component
- Outside of Lara's character arc
- story is predictable

Tomb Raider
After nearly two decades, Crystal Dynamics finally gets it right. Tomb Raider is an action-packed thrill ride full of amazing set-pieces, sharp writing, a fun science fiction story and tons of enemies to gun down. Tomb Raider is a game worthy of the Croft name!

good graphics & controls let down by poor frame rate in places
Starts off quite well, good learning curve, puzzels could be a bit more difficult, game keeps you intersted from start to finish (good content), where it lets you down is in the frame rate, up and down, worse when riding the motorbike, like an old pc game in places.

Amazing looking controler
I'll probably be only using this for my PC via the wireless adapter. Also, I purchased this thing purely on aesthetics (I'm also a bit of a special edition controller collector).
Pros:
- Everything on it is awesome
- By holding this controller you can tell that the designers of this thing spend a ton of time on it
- Almost everything on this controller is textured, from the band-aid on the left to the thumb prints on the right
- This thing is awesome looking.
Cons:
- It says "TOMB RAIDER A survivor is born
- Adventurers hardware" by the battery pack enclosure
- Not a big deal, My personal preference is that it be clean..might remove the bottom of the enclosure and put on a standard black cover.
