A familiar face whose every breath is a gift, eh? So much for not revealing too much. >:(

And yes, we all were suspicious about her appearance and even more suspicious about that other female's appearance. As a matter of fact, the second one was pretty much confirmed through hints in trailers and plot descriptions. But...

...gah.

Blood in itself is hardly a 'feature' anyway.

Hammer of Thor. Person in big glass cage? Please tell me the finale isn't as obvious as that sounds?

So, Tom, you saw it running on the PS3. How was it looking? Crap multiformat port, or has it been done right?

"Given the option to upload stuff to the internet, and the inclusion of blood for the first time in a Tomb Raider game, we can't wait for all the pictures of Lara swan-diving onto spikes or toeing the kraken."

see...? it's all about that these days... voyeristic/kinky/sadistic filth, I tell ya...! a disgrace...!

in other words: S-O-L-D...!!!

cheers...

"Hands on"

Somehow I imagined two hands groping the cleavage in the image. :/

So the game probably lasts about 8 -10 hours but, it will take you 25 hours to find all the hidden items. WTF?

"...Lara's new sonar (for sniffing out usable ledges), camera (for sniffing out solutions) and bum (not for sniffing)..."

I love the smell of EG in the morning :)

He reserves the right not to compliment PS3 code. :)

Hmm, this preview sounds a little disappointing. I was hoping for more of Anniversary's atmosphere rather than more of Legend's action.

I am really looking forward to this game, the previous two games were a good return to form. It will be great to see everyone's favourite pair of breasts again (although saying my boss has hers on show today and they look awesome, seriously you want to sit where i am sitting today.)

I liked Angel of Darkness. The game mechanics were not so good, though.

Question: if Tom saw this running on the PS3, why is this in the X360 section?

I was playing Tomb Raider Anniversary in 1080p last night. Lovely game. This should look even better. Still cant complete anniversay though (mind you i am playing it on hard)

I'm sorry but Lara has judged that flying kick at that tiger appallingly. She's going to land on its back, startle it and as she slides off its back onto the floor and begins to compose herself, its going to turn around and completely savage her.

"I was playing Tomb Raider Anniversary in 1080p last night."

Somehow I prefered the graphics in Legend. They were less consistent, but at their best they impressed me more than Anniversary.

"a shootout with some, it has to be said, thoroughly stupid and predictable identikit henchmen, one of whom stutters back and forth on the spot as we pop him repeatedly with one of Lara's iconic twin pistols"

They will never, ever, learn. Ever.

Maybe he meant blood comes out of Lara when she's injured in this version. I think that would be new.

As far as I'm concerned there shouldn't be any combat in a Tomb Raider game. Not a single gun. Not even one bullet. It's always the part I just sorta grin and bear (no pun intended) until I can get back to the jumping and climbing and puzzling.
