Tombraider was a great game for me personally but S/E had really ridiculous expectations for it. I mean it "did" do well. It just didn't reach the astronomically ludicrous sales numbers the corporate suits wanted it to.

I'm really looking forward to this. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a Square-Enix game for a few years. Now, if only my mail could arrive sooner. P.S. I kind of wish North America had the European box art.
You may remember I was excited for this in a previous blog. And yeah, I really liked it for the six hours it lasted! I think I finished the game with every character in two days. The online community also seems to be completely dead, despite the game only being a few months old. The lack of content didn’t bother me too much though, because it was cheap and I have a lot of other games to play.
I didn’t like this as much as I thought I would. Apparently, my brain is 40 years old… but it’s the game’s fault! Seriously, half the time it can’t recognize my writing and almost all of the challenges are based on speed. Okay, so I have messy writing, but blame it on my hands, not my brain!
This one was a little disappointing as well. The puzzles are interesting, but many of them can be better solved with random guessing than actual thinking. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I prefer my mysteries more gritty, dark, and atmospheric. Hotel Dusk will probably be better suited for me.
I’ve been meaning to play this once it dropped in price. With the release of the GOTY edition, now seems like a good time. Apparently, this game just recently became profitable. I still don’t know why Square put so much money into the game. When was the last time a Tomb Raider game sold close to five million copies?
Anyway, I’m really happy BaD is back. So many blogs that I can never keep up with. It’s pretty awesome.
