Tomb Raider Anniversary


I know as I write this that its completely off topic but, I just have to say something about it. Tomb Raider Anniversary is Lara Croft's next installment after Tomb Raider: Legend. Anniversary celebrates Lara's 10 years of game fame courtesy of Crystal Dynamics; its new developer.

If you thought Lara looked gorgeous before this New Year, you will think she's a godess compared to what she was before! Crystal Dynamics have imporved their Graphics even more! Lara looks like a girl that's within total reach of your arm length when she's running around on screen.

New Features:




  • New Graphics: Lara looks even better on the PS2 and judging from the screenshots, it seems the PC version will sport the HDR (High Dynamic Range) feature once again, only used more often and better.
  • Lara's New Moves: Lara sports verious new moves in Anniversary, Lara can now run along walls ofr a short time using her grappling cable. She also has a new slow motion move to compensate for Legend's overpowered slow motion ability, Lara can make headshots using her NEW slow motion ability, killing the enemy instantly. Lara also looses her balance and needs you to be at the ready to press the Triangle button or "E" key.

  • Revisit Tomb Raider 1's levels, characters, monsters and puzzles, with a little few UPGRADES throw in here and there.

  • Tomb Raider now sports music erasing the dull and silence of the old PS1 version.

  • For those of you who played the original PS1 version, the T-Rex is back!

Lara's release date according to Gamespot is the 29th May 2007 in North America. You will fall in love with Lara all over again.
