  • Tomb Raider: Guide To Survival Episode 1

    Crystal Dynamics has released the first in a series of videos showcasing Lara’s upgradeable skill set and how you will be using the Base Camp feature to add skill points into different categories that will help Laura in her adventure. Watching the first episode of this shows that the developers are trying to make this more than a mere Uncharted clone.

  • Tomb Raider Survivor Trailer

    Why must this game keep teasing me with this beautiful Lara Croft action?!!  Crystal Dynamics reboot of the series continues to impress with every new bit of video shown. Tomb Raider begat Uncharted and now Uncharted has begat the Tomb Raider reboot.

    Tomb Raider releases on March 5, 2013.

  • VGA’s Are Tonight In Case You Forgot

    Has it really been ten years since Spike started their own video game awards show? Time really flies when the awards mean nothing and the show is mainly used as a hub for new game previews and not to celebrate the winners. Sarcasm aside, tonight is the tenth VGA’s and I fully intend to watch it because…well that’s what we do. It’s video games. There will be awards for game, studio, soundtrack and downloadable game of the year among others.

    New previews will be shown for Tomb Raider, Gears of War: Judgment, The Last of Us, Bioshock Infinite as well as a few surprises which always seem to happen at the show (please let Rocksteady announce their next game).

    So set your DVR’s accordingly and in case you miss it we will have a full rundown of the winners and game previews up after the show airs.

     

  • Bioshock Infinite Delayed. Yes, Again.

    Not For Too Long So Don’t Panic.

    Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. [amazon_link id=”B003O6E6NE” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Bioshock Infinite[/amazon_link] has been delayed.

    The game will see a one month delay and release on March 26, 2013, so it is leaving a crowded February for a crowded March. March 2013 will already see the releases of Tomb Raider, God of War: Ascension and Gears of War: Judgment.

    Irrational Games Ken Levine made the announcement citing that they could ship the game in February but it wouldn’t hurt to take a few more weeks and do more bug testing to make sure the game is what the fans deserve.

    “I knew I’d probably get beat up in the press a little bit about it, but at the end of the day, if it’s going to make a better game, we’ll do it.”

    I personally have been waiting for three years on this game so another month will be no problem especially if it makes it better.

  • Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition Announced

    Have A Look At Lara’s Goodies.

    Today Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics announced their collector’s edition for next year’s highly anticipated reboot of Tomb Raider. It will retail for $99.99 and release on March 5th. Square has said that quantities will be limited thus the “collector’s” stamp (hmmm….not so sure).

    The collection will include the following:

    – 8″ Play Arts Kai Lara Croft figure (hopefully it will not look like a** like their Mass Effect Commander Shepard)

    – Three iron-on patches that represent three of the achievements in the game

    – A 5″x7″ lithograph of Lara Croft

    – A 15″x19″ map of Yamati Island, the island on which Lara is shipwrecked

    – “Weapons Pack” DLC which gives Lara extra weapons for in-game use

    – A 10 track CD soundtrack from the game

    What say all of you? Is this worth the bump up in price to $100?

     

  • Grand Theft Auto 5 Release Confirmed.

    Rockstar’s Next GTA Title Takes On A Crowded Spring.

    The early 2013 game landscape just got a lot more crowded with Rockstar’s official announcement today that Grand Theft Auto 5 would be released in the spring.

    This is certainly huge news for game fans that have been waiting almost five years for the followup to the popular game series. Almost certainly other game companies are waiting for a solid release date to see if any adjustments need to be made to their own game releases.

    There are a host of big name games releasing early next year like Tomb Raider, Gears of War and The Last of Us but almost any game should avoid being released on or near GTA’s release because they are among the biggest you see in gaming.

    Rockstar has said that they will open the floodgates on Grand Theft Auto 5 starting next month and that pre-orders on the game begin November 5th.

  • Take A Look At The Tomb Raider Box Art

    The first quarter of next year is loaded with a list of great games. So much so that it almost rivals this holiday season in terms of big titles. One of the biggest is Crystal Dynamics reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise. Bringing Laura Coft back in the past and showing gamers how she became the heroine we fell in love with on the original Playstation, this new Tomb Raider has wowed at every turn and is set to be released on March 5th, 2013.

    Today Square released the official box art for the game which shows our hero on the shipwrecked island from the previews. What do you think? Have you decided already to pre-order the game or is it getting lost with the likes of Bioshock and Gears of War coming out next year?

  • Tomb Raider Gameplay Shows Off Beautiful Environments, Indestructible Deer.

    Tomb Raider is quickly heading towards it’s March 2013 release and this past week at PAX Square Enix showed off about 14 minutes of gameplay from very early in the game. There were no human antagonists but rather a look at how Lara would control and how she will have to hunt and scavenge for food and supplies to survive.

    Tomb Raider is one of my most anticiapted games for next year and looks incredible even in a not near finished build. Now if we could hunt a deer without it taking like 12 arrows to take down.
