Tomb Raided!
Games evolve quickly. Despite a trilogy of quality releases ending only five years ago, Tomb Raider was already starting to get left behind by the genre it helped to create in 1996. Now the industry’s best-known heroine is back and reinventing action-adventure once again.
Available tomorrow for the PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Noah Hughes (Creative Director) takes us through some of the gameplay mechanics as Lara Croft traverses the Monastery area of the game.
Lara's new look does a lot for her character, but has any progress really been made?
When asked to name female video game characters that embody some aspect of stereotypically exploitive depictions of women there are a few that almost anyone would name, but the name that almost always rolls off the tongue first is Lara Croft of Tomb Raider fame.
Players will be able to experience the origins of Lara Croft and her transformation from a young woman into a fearless explorer and... raider of tombs.
A great entrance for newcomers to the series with one outdated exception.
For all two of you reading this who have no idea who Lara Croft is, let’s get this out of the way real quick. A curvy British noble, she scoffs at tea parties and aristocratic protocol, preferring to spend her days raiding tombs and finding treasures. She has been flipping around ruins and wearing tiny shorts since the olden days of the original Playstation. Also she shoots dinosaurs, but it’s not a big deal.
