Post Tomb Raider
Here's an e3 vid of the latest tomb raider game:



The story in Ars made it sound interesting as well:

Quote:
The section of the game began with Croft waking up, and then being hung like a poisoned fly on a spiderweb. There is no way to escape, but as you rock the analog stick you can build up enough momentum to do what the developer described as "the unthinkable," set the bindings—and by extension Lara herself—on fire. The rope snaps and she takes a long, painful fall onto an exposed piece of rebar.

You have to pump the X button to pull it out, and Croft does so with a guttural scream. This is what it's like to watch a girl be reduced to primal survival instincts.

I was never a huge TR fan after the first 2 games, but I'm interested in the reboot. Kinda funny they kept the D(D?) boobies but did away but pretty much everything else.

I am a TR fan (well it's a love hate relationship, I love throwing the dumb bitch off a cliff after she refuses to grab a ledge :x ) and this one is looking absolutely amazing. The last 3 were a huge upgrade with the engine and fluidity anyway and I'm really loving the idea of starting her out again in such a harsh survival tale.

Just finished this game. It's pretty decent. Parts of it get a bit slow, but I like the voice acting, the story was ok, and it was overall fairly fun. If it's not obvious, it did not blow me away. Still, worth it as long as you're not paying full price. :)

I've got to say, though, that first 30 minutes is like torture porn. Poor Lara just gets messed the hell up. And there's more than one part where if you don't hit the right button at the right time, you die a very gruesome death. I remember particularly being shocked by missing a key and getting a branch shoved through my head. Graphics are pretty nice, too. Oh, and Lara is totally hot. :roll:
