the return of lara 



I came across the press release for the upcoming Tomb Raider game, TR: Legend, on Gamespot. Out of curiosity, I checked it out. The first Tomb Raider game (which came out when I was still gaming on a Windoze PC) was phenomenal (at the time). It was a watershed in gaming history. But I stopped playing the franchise after TR 3. It was getting too repetitive. I don't know what Eidos has planned for the latest incarnation, but the screenshots of the new 3D model for Lara look pretty darn good. Obvious sex-appeal factors aside, the detail on the model is amazing. But I wonder if it'll translate as perfectly onto the actual gameplay screen. I have a feeling it will be quite some time before we find out. Games take longer to produce than movies.
