Can't I just enjoy some titties?! Why do you have to rain on my parade, Blake? What have "I" ever done to you?! Coming in here with all this debating nonsense! Bah! (Just kidding,heh!)

Joking aside, the game looks great to me personally. No, I haven't played it but I have just played RE 6 recently and frankly TombRaider seems far more immersive with its' environments and big set piece moments. (At least as far as lay-out and visual appeal are concerned)

No it's not entirely realistic (Lara gets proficient at being a bad ass at a ridiculously fast pace after killing her first assailant) but I do like seeing a more human side of the character.

I suppose if you're a challenge junky and you like every game to be "Dark Souls hard" this might be too easy. However, I don't always play a game to get my ass kicked. I'm not as "spry and quick" as I used to be during my nes days when being hit once meant certain doom.

  I will agree Tombraider isn't doing anything "original" then again duh, it's a long running franchise. Even with this being a reboot they still wanted it to be an action platformer with 3rd person shooter elements. Naturally, those things don't exactly reinvent the wheel. (And probably were not meant to in the first place)

However, I do think Tombraider does its' genre extremely well. Whether or not you preferred the more unforgiving platforming segments of Tombraiders gone by is more of a personal preference.

As for Lara being a sex object? Yeah, you can see her that way (she's a beautiful woman in her athletic prime) but I also think she has enough depth and humanity to be a well rounded female protagonist to boot.

Not trying to be an ass or anything. Besides, you've played the game and I haven't so all my info is an outsider looking in perspective! Aka, at least for now you win by default! lol.

The thing is, this is a game. Yeah, she becomes a "bad ass" pretty quick but imagine slogging through 12+ hours with a character that is actually for the most part helpless and useless. (A good approach to survival horror perhaps but this is an action adventure franchise) I concur that realistically Lara would have to go through much more to become a skilled gunslinger/explorer but the question is, would this reboot be as fun if she spent most of the game severely limited?

Something about these songs is very down to earth & real. Thanks for sharing,Pete!

Always wanted to get this for the PS2. I imagine it's getting up there in price now. The Lunar games fill me with lighthearted innocent nostalgia so Working-Designs always gets an enthuaistic "thumbs up" from me!

I hate errors that screw over a console. I've been lucky for a few years so I wouldn't be surprised if my number is up. And all this because of a download?!

I hate to sound "old" but it seems like consoles really were sturdier back in the day,James. For example, my PS2 still runs perfectly and I've had it FOREVER.

I'm not exactly a heavy drinker/party guy so St. Patrick's is often just another day to me. lol. Still, I like its' ties to all things Irish! If it had "real" leprechauns and beautiful fey lasses I'd be all over it!

The story is quite dark and in that regard it reminds me of Nier. It also has a hint of Silent Hill 2. Aka the lovers are in a similar predicament as Mary  & James (The female being cursed with a scary ailment) only in this case the hero doesn't give up and continues to try and cure her. (Even as he sees she's suffering.) 

Welcome aboard,mate! The post from your  1up face book annoucement brought me here! Er, any pizza left in the fridge? lol.

I'd love to see another Alice game. Madness Returns was one of the few great action platformers I played on the 360 this generation. (The PS3 is lucky on account it has a wider variety of action platformers)

I will say it felt like Alice's story felt "wrapped up" with Madness Returns. Aka, there were not many "loose ends" after the ending.

I grew fond of the mutated T-rex "thing" with a giant eyeball in its' mouth. lol. Simmons knows how to get down!
