"It was 15 years ago that the very first Tomb Raider game came out and Lara Croft stole the hearts of a generation of fanboys. Steam is celebrating the anniversary of everyone’s favorite gun-toting, buxom, British babe with a Tomb Raider Anniversary Sale that includes three games from the series. These low prices won’t last for long. Hurry up, and don’t miss your chance to head out on an action-packed adventure with Lara Croft for 66% off each game."
The Tomb Raider franchise has been around for a long time. Since 1996, Lara Croft has been exploring dangerous ruins, collecting ancient relics, and even slaying the occasional dinosaur. Now the famous explorer’s latest adventures have been compiled onto one BluRay disc for gamers to enjoy. The Tomb Raider Trilogy (for PS3) features Tomb Raider: Legend, Tomb Raider: Anniversary, and Tomb Raider: Underworld, plus some pretty basic extras. It’s not the strongest compilation, but it’s certainly ...
"As a rare movie franchise with a female lead character, whoever replaces Jolie as Lara Croft will need just the right characteristics. She needs to be more than sexy - she needs to be tough, smart and physical."
"The idea for this blog, as usual, came from my random thoughts after I saw that Tomb Raider is set to be revitalised for the umpteenth time, this time in the hopefully capable hands of notable developer Square Enix. It is to be a tale of Lara Croft's origins, one that is apparently to explain her very first adventure. Now, call me picky, but I'm sure this has been done before. It happened in Tomb Raider Last Revelation when Lara was younger and it also happened in Tomb Raider Chronicles and h..."
"In the UK, our friends at LOVEFiLM had wanted to poll their customers and users to what the best video game to movie adaptions were in preparation for this summer's blockbuster Prince of Persia starring Jake Gyllenhaal. So out of all the movies, which adaption topped the list? Silent Hill!?!?"
All Age Gaming's Ian Crane managed to obtain a piece of gaming history in the form of "The Art of Tomb Raider" which includes every possible significant piece of Tomb Raider art presented in a 568 page, two volume set. With only 2000 produced, this is something that would be a prized possession for any massive Tomb Raider fan. Ian provides us with his opinion on this unique piece of Tomb Raider history.
"After playing a joke on many game fans with our last Tomb Raider (or Fridge Raider) cosplay gallery, I wanted to make amends with those fans of Lara Croft and the Tomb Raider series who felt it was unfair to cast the character in a mocking light. So this week we present a real Lara Croft Cosplay Gallery."
""With Bayonetta strutting into stores this week, it's time to take a look at the toughest female characters gaming has provided gaming with over the years. We're talking ladies of steel; the kind that don't need to be suffering with hormonal pains to rip your head off. Gone is the insistent need to shop and the power to chat your body into a vacant boredom – these girls have far more pressing matters to get on with. By 'pressing,' we mean they are out saving the world or imprinting their high..."
"Eidos Interactive Ltd, creator of some of the world’s leading videogame properties, today announced that an exclusive Tomb Raider PSP Double Pack is making its way to PlayStation Portable exclusively throughout Europe on April 10th."
"The plot of a computer game could not be more outlandish. A dotcom millionaire cashes in at the height of the boom, pocketing millions and begins a playboy lifestyle in sunny South Africa.
For Charles Cornwall, the founder of Eidos - the company behind the blockbusting Tomb Raider computer games - his dream had become reality.
But within four years of moving to paradise, Cornwall's business and private life had been torn apart by murder, fraud allegations and a bitter divorce from his ..."
"Since September has come and gone, we got a little worried and contacted Eidos about Laras disappearing act. Gareth Ramsay, International Public Relations Manager at Eidos Interactive, quickly responded to our inquiry and said that both the boxed and downloadable versions are still very much planned."
So, Nintendo sent out new PR, detailing their new release schedule. Unfortunately, that includes Brawl on Feb. 10
However, there are some very amusing and hidden gems. Assassin's Creed apparently is set to be released February '08, and Advance Wars: Days of Ruin will be releasing on January 21st. There are some delays, including February 4th for Professor Layton (originally Dec. 3). It is shaping up to be a great end of '07/early '08.
Take note that this is a partial list. Most not...
"Eidos has confirmed plans to release Tomb Raider Anniversary on the Xbox 360 in the form of downloadable episodes, with owners of Tomb Raider Legend to get the game before everyone else.
The first of the episodes, "Episode 1 & 2" which comes complete with a free training mission, is set to be available for downloadable purchase this September. Further episodes will arrive soon after.
Eidos then plans to release a full retail version of the game later in the year for those who don't own ..."
"Youve mulled the decision of walking a tomb-raiding path originally trodden a decade ago, youve struggled with justifying coughing out good money for such a privilege, and youve scrutinised the comparison trailers that suggest vast improvements and gameplay enhancements now let the critics weigh in with their two cents."
"If you've been to the UK (or, you know...live there), you'd have seen some blue plaques on the buildings and streets. Since 1867 they've been "installed in publicly-visible locations on buildings to commemorate either a famous person who lived or worked in the building (or site) or an event that occurred within the building".
Relevance to us? Lara Croft's getting one. The site of the old Core offices where she was "born" are about to be turned into a block of flats, and once work is comple..."
